Drop Biscuits

These fluffy drop biscuits go really well with our Chicken Corn Chowder.

You'll need:

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 5 tablespoons of butter
• 1 1/2 cup of milk

Equipment:

• Measuring cups and spoons
• A large bowl
• A large spoon
• A spatula
• A cookie sheet
• Cooking spray or parchment paper

1. Take the butter out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature.
2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
3. Meanwhile, prepare your cookie sheet. You can grease it by using a little butter or shortening. Or you can use cooking spray or put parchment paper on it.
4. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Make sure the salt and baking powder are evenly distributed.
5. Now, add the butter. Our butter was really soft so we just mixed it in with a fork. If your butter is a little firmer, use your fork to mash the butter into the dry ingredients. You need to work the butter into the flour until there are no big lumps.
6. Next pour the milk into this mixture. It works best if you do it a little at a time. Remember somethings are easier with four hands, so ask for help if you need it. Stir until this batter is smooth.
7. The batter will be sticky, so use a big spoon to drop globs of it onto the prepared cookie sheet.
8. Bake the biscuits for about 12 minutes until the peaks on the top are slightly browned.
