Storing Drop Biscuit Recipe
If you add melted butter to the top of these, you will want to eat them the same day. If you don’t, they will keep in a sealed container at room temperature for two to three days. This recipe is courtesy of America’s Test Kitchen. They are such a great source if you are just learning how to cook. Their cookbooks don’t just provide great recipes, they teach you the why’s behind cooking that are so invaluable and can translate to other recipes. I love this recipe for so many reasons. Mostly, I love how fast these come together – just 20 minutes start to finish! Besides being so fast, I love that these biscuits rise perfectly. They are soft, moist, and don’t crumble. Finally, they have the perfect balance of ingredients so they don’t taste bitter, overly sweet, or greasy. They just taste like perfection.
Cold buttermilk: It is important that the buttermilk is cold and full fat. The cold butter when mixed with the hot melted butter creates clumps of butter, which is key to the final biscuit. Additionally, we have made these with lower fat buttermilk and didn’t get the same results. Stick with full fat buttermilk.Hot melted butter: As mentioned above, when the cold buttermilk mixes with the hot melted butter it creates little clumps of butter. When that is added to the batter and baked, the butter melts and creates beautiful little pockets of steam which leaves you with the perfect biscuit.All purpose flour: Read below on how to ensure that you have properly measured flour.
While it won’t be the same exact results as using store-bought buttermilk, you will end up with absolutely delicious biscuits.
Freezing
These biscuits freeze really well. To freeze them, skip brushing them with melted butter when they come out of the oven. Then place them on a wax paper lined tray for a few hours in the freezer before transferring them to an air tight container. Store in the freezer for up to three months. These will take just about 30 minutes to thaw at room temperature. Recipe from America’s Test Kitchen
