Well, let me tell ya, I been makin’ biscuits since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. And these here drop biscuits with self rising flour, they’re the easiest darn things you ever did see. Ain’t no need for fancy tools or nothin’. Just good ol’ self rising flour and a few other things you probably got in your kitchen right now.
Now, some folks, they like them rolled out biscuits. But me? I ain’t got time for all that fussin’. These drop biscuits, you just mix ’em up and plop ’em on a pan. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy, like my grandpappy used to say.
What’s so special about self rising flour, you ask? Well, it’s got that leavenin’ already mixed in. You know, the stuff that makes the biscuits rise up all nice and fluffy. Saves you a step, see? And it makes for a tender biscuit, not tough like shoe leather. My old teeth ain’t what they used to be, so tender is what I need!
Here’s what you gonna need to get started:
- Self rising flour, of course. That’s the star of the show.
- Some milk. Cow’s milk is fine, that’s what I always use.
- A little bit of melted butter. Makes ’em rich and tasty.
- And a pinch of sugar, just a smidge, to round out the flavor.
First thing you gotta do is get your oven goin’. Heat that bad boy up to a good, hot temperature. I usually set mine to about 450 degrees. While that’s heatin’ up, you can get your biscuit mix ready.
Now, you take your self rising flour, about two cups or so, and put it in a big ol’ bowl. Then you pour in your melted butter, maybe half a cup. Stir it up with a fork, just ’til it’s all crumbly. Don’t overmix it, now! Just enough to get it all combined.
Next, you pour in your milk, a little at a time. About a cup should do it. Stir it up, just ’til it forms a sticky dough. It ain’t gonna be pretty, but that’s okay. We ain’t lookin’ for beauty here, we’re lookin’ for tasty drop biscuits.
Now, get yourself a bakin’ sheet. I like to grease mine with a little lard, but you can use whatever you got. Then, you just take a big ol’ spoon and drop spoonfuls of that dough onto the sheet. Leave a little space between ’em, ’cause they gonna spread out some.
Pop that sheet in the oven and let ’em bake for about 12 to 15 minutes. Keep an eye on ’em, though. You want ’em golden brown, not burnt to a crisp. When they look done, take ’em out and let ’em cool for a bit. If you can wait that long, that is! They smell so good when they’re fresh out of the oven, it’s hard to resist.
These drop biscuits with self rising flour are so good, you can eat ’em plain. But they’re even better with a little somethin’ on ’em. Butter, jam, honey, gravy… you name it! My favorite is to slather ’em with butter and honey while they’re still warm. Mmm, mmm, good!
Some folks might tell ya that you need fancy ingredients or special techniques to make good biscuits. But I’m here to tell ya, that ain’t true. These easy drop biscuits are proof of that. Anyone can make ’em, even if you ain’t never baked a thing in your life.
I remember my mama teachin’ me how to make biscuits when I was just a little girl. We didn’t have much, but we always had flour and milk. And those biscuits, they were always a treat. Filled our bellies and warmed our hearts. Still do, if I am being honest!

Then, you just warm them up in the oven again!
And if you want to change them up a little, you can add other things to the dough. Like cheese. Cheese is good. Or herbs. I like to add a little garlic powder sometimes. Just get creative! That’s what it is all about. If you like it, do it!
