Description

These gigantic drop biscuits come together quick and always wow a breakfast crowd! Enjoy with butter and jam or smother in a delicious sausage gravy.

Ingredients
  • 3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 3/4 cup butter (chilled)
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • 3 cup heavy whipping cream (or 2 c milk or buttermilk)
Instructions
  1. 1

    Combine all dry ingredients and sift or mix together well.

  2. 2

    Cut the butter into small pieces as if for pie crust. Break up the pieces and add to the flour mixture, cutting in with a large fork or pastry cutter. The mixture should resemble coarse crumbs. Do NOT overmix at this stage.

  3. 3

    Add the milk and egg and mix until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

  4. 4

    Using a large spoon, drop generous dollops of the batter onto a greased or lined cookie sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove immediately to a cooling rack. Serve warm with butter and jam or a generous serving of country gravy. Makes about 6 large biscuits or 12 small biscuits.
