YUM! These were delightful! These will now be my go-to recipe when I need fast biscuits. I used my food processor, so it only took 1 minute to combine all the ingredients. I needed a last minute bread for an Italian meal, so I replaced 1/2 c. of the flour with whole wheat flour and added in 1/2 tsp. garlic powder and 1 tsp. Italian seasoning. I used skim milk and added 1 Tbsp. lemon juice to it to thicken it. I used butter instead of shortening. I tried to shape them into logs so they would be like breadsticks.

I felt like theses had too much of a baking powder taste to them. They were pretty tasty and all, even then, but that taste just kind of lingered. I would recommend adding some sort of herb to it. Nonetheless, it was super simple, and the result is a beautiful biscuit. Thanks for this recipe, it's a good basic for sure.

I never made drop biscuits before and had a few secret doubts. You made a believer out of me; they turned out great.I used butter instead of shortening and put the flour, baking powder, salt and the butter in my food processor, whirling it all around until it got crumbly. Then I added the milk and just gave it two seconds to barely blend. Had them for lunch with a nice big veggie salad. I'll keep this recipe to make again....thanks for sharing.
