My Cheddar Herb Buttermilk Biscuits are cheesy and buttery, filled with a variety of herbs, it’s difficult not to eat the entire batch as soon as they come out of the oven. I love to bake these Buttermilk Biscuits off for my Creamy Chicken and Biscuits rather than create a crust or make dumplings, not only because they taste great when you break them up and soak them in the broth, but I also love to have leftover Cheddar Biscuits! This is a ‘drop biscuit’ type of recipe and it couldn’t be easier! I dump the entire dough onto a sheet tray that’s lined and sprayed, then use a bench scraper to divide the dough into squares. Or if you like, use a very large ice cream scoop to form round biscuits, either way, you’ll love my Buttermilk Biscuits recipe.

What is the difference between ‘Drop Biscuits’ and ‘Rolled Biscuits’ anyway?

Drop biscuits get their name from the fact there is no rolling or forming of the dough, they are simply spooned, or in the case of my Cheddar Herb Buttermilk Biscuits, ice cream scooped on to the sheet tray. Seriously, they couldn’t be easier! A ‘Rolled Biscuit’ requires a little more work and a significant level of skill to get right. A Rolled biscuit has a layered structure and as you pull them apart each flaky layer is separate. Whereas a ‘Drop Biscuit’ is more like a muffin or cakey texture. Each one gorgeous and delicious, but the drop biscuit is 1000 times easier.
