Mexican Drop Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the flour, baking powder, salt and chile powder in a food processor or in a large bowl. Pulse machine or mix by hand. Drop in the butter and pulse, or work in with your fingers until the butter is incorporated in tiny pea-size pieces. If using food processor, transfer this mixture to a bowl.
• Add the cheese, corn, cilantro and lime zest. Mix with a large fork. Add the cream and stir until a soft, somewhat sticky dough forms. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Break off pieces of the dough and form into balls 1 inch or so in diameter. Place on the baking sheet an inch apart. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 25 minutes, until golden. Place baking sheet on a rack, cool about 30 minutes and serve. Biscuits can also be frozen, thawed at room temperature and warmed for 15 minutes at 250 degrees before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk a little at a time, stirring lightly between additions.
• Drop the batter by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet, and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the tops are golden.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the flour, baking powder and salt into a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the dry ingredients and the butter are mostly combined. (Alternatively, cut the butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter.) Drizzle in the milk and pulse (or stir) just until the dough comes together. Do not over mix.
• Using a regular table spoon, or large spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto baking trays and bake until nice golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. If desired, brush with melted butter after you remove them from the oven.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar and salt. Stir in butter and milk just until moistened. Drop batter on a lightly greased cookie sheet by the tablespoon.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden on the edges, about 8 to 12 minutes. Serve warm.
