BHA & BHT Free Easy Drop Biscuits

Warm, golden, and impossibly fluffy, these drop biscuits come together with just six simple pantry ingredients and no rolling pin required. BHA and BHT are synthetic preservatives found in a surprising number of packaged baked goods and even some commercial butter and flour blends, so baking from scratch is one of the easiest ways to sidestep them entirely. Every ingredient here — flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, unsalted butter, and whole milk — is straightforward and easy to source clean. The technique is refreshingly low-fuss: cold butter gets worked into the dry ingredients until crumbly, milk goes in just until the dough comes together, and generous mounds get dropped straight onto the pan. That rough, shaggy dough is exactly what you want — overworking it is the only real way to go wrong. A quick brush of melted butter straight out of the oven gives each biscuit a rich, glossy finish that makes them nearly impossible to resist. Serve them warm alongside soup, eggs, or honestly anything that deserves a good biscuit on the side.
