Description

These Oatmeal Drop Biscuits are a comforting twist on the classic Southern breakfast staple. By incorporating quick-cooking rolled oats, these biscuits achieve a uniquely tender crumb with a delightful chewiness, while a touch of honey adds a subtle, warm sweetness that pairs perfectly with savory sides. The dough comes together quickly, requiring no rolling pin&# 226;ÂÂjust stir, drop, and bake. They emerge from the oven golden brown and fluffy, making them an ideal companion for butter, jam, or gravy. Perfect for a leisurely weekend brunch or a hearty weekday morning, these biscuits bring a rustic, home-style warmth to the table. Simple ingredients and minimal effort yield a result that feels indulgent yet wholesome, satisfying cravings for something baked fresh.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425ðF (220ðC). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add the shortening to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to cut the shortening into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the quick-cooking rolled oats until evenly distributed.
  5. In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the beaten egg, milk, and honey.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients all at once into the dry mixture. Stir gently with a fork or spatula just until the flour is moistened and a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.
