🧈 Drop Biscuits
Drop biscuits are soft, fluffy biscuits that are “dropped” by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet instead of rolled and cut. They’re quicker and more rustic than traditional biscuits—perfect for beginners or when you want something fast.

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup butter (cold, cut into pieces)
