Warm, golden, and impossibly fluffy, these drop biscuits are the kind of thing that disappears from the table before it even has a chance to cool. The dough comes together with just six simple pantry staples — flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, butter, and milk — so there's no mystery about what's going into your batch. For anyone navigating sesame allergies or sensitivities, store-bought biscuits and bread products can be a minefield of hidden tahini, sesame oil, or shared-facility warnings, but this recipe sidesteps all of that completely. The technique is refreshingly low-effort: no rolling, no cutting, no chilling — just drop the shaggy dough onto a lined baking sheet and let the oven do the work. Cold butter worked into the flour is the secret to those flaky, tender layers, and a final brush of melted butter straight out of the oven gives every biscuit a rich, glossy finish. They're perfect alongside a bowl of soup, piled next to scrambled eggs, or honestly eaten plain while standing at the counter.
