I LOVE a good flaky biscuit but when I don’t have time for all that butter grating and folding over, this is my go-to drop biscuit recipe.

These little beauties are flaky and tender with just the right amount of sweetness to complement a savory OR sweet dish. They have a delicious crisp exterior that melts in your mouth. And they will go very well with any gravy, soup, or stew!

Whether you make them big and serve them as shortcakes or make them small as a side on your holiday table, these biscuits are sure to please everyone who grabs one, and you better be quick!

Making the Biscuits

Combine all the dry ingredients in your food processor or a large bowl. Process until thoroughly combined. Add the butter and coconut oil and process again until the butter is about the size of peas. Add the milk and pulse just until a dough forms. It should look like this.

Next, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and using a 2-ounce scoop, scoop and drop your biscuits in rows at least an inch apart.

Bake in your preheated oven for 17 to 20 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown.

Serve these little crisp bites of heaven warm from the oven!
