Warm, golden, and impossibly fluffy, these drop biscuits are the kind of thing you pull out of the oven and immediately want to eat with your bare hands. The ingredient list is refreshingly short — just flour, butter, milk, and a few pantry staples — so there's no hunting for specialty items or second-guessing what's hiding in a store-bought mix. That simplicity is actually great news for anyone navigating condiment and spice allergies, since mustard can sneak into packaged baking blends and seasoned mixes more often than you'd expect. Here, everything is straightforward and easy to verify. The technique is equally unfussy: cold butter gets worked into the dry ingredients until crumbly, milk brings it together into a rough dough, and generous scoops go straight onto the pan — no rolling, no cutting, no fuss. A quick brush of melted butter right out of the oven gives the tops a gorgeous, rich finish that tastes like way more effort than it actually was. These are the kind of biscuits that disappear fast, so you might want to double the batch.
