These fluffy buttermilk drop biscuits collide sweet honey with spicy jalapeno pepper and the result is one KILLER biscuit that you will find yourself eating straight outta the oven!
I would like to make a formal announcement that these buttermilk drop biscuits are now making up roughly about 93% of my meals right now.
Is there any other logical way to deal with biscuits this ridiculous? Obviously not.
Can I just say for the record that sweet + heat flavors all wrapped up in a fluffy, buttery biscuit is pretty much the sweetest deal you could ever ask for?
Trust my knowledge on this one, guys, because I sure as heck ate my fair share of these beauties. ??
Okay, so buttermilk drop biscuits are the EPITOME of ease when it comes to the biscuit game, y’all. There’s only one bowl involved, no rolling out of dough, and basically no making a huge mess. >>> major wins and majorly good biscuits to boot.
Grab ‘yo basic biscuit ingredients such as flour, butter, baking powder, etc and mix it all up. Then came honey + jalapeno which I’m pretty sure = some form of perfect heaven.
Crack these beauties open PIPING hot from the oven and it’s necessary at this point that you shove butter and honey all over every nook and cranny inside.
^^^ that is the only correct way to chow down on these, FYI.

Can you substitute regular flour in place of the whole wheat for the same amount?
Sarah says
Yes, that would work just fine, Brittany!
