15-Minute Drop Biscuits are an easy homemade biscuit recipe that is perfect for every dinner. It brings Easy Family Dinner Ideas to a whole new level.
My hubs has this thing. He has to have 3 items on the plate come dinner time. I wasn’t really raised like that. For most of my life, it was just my mom & I.
We lived off things like toast for dinner followed by a bowl of cake & ice cream. Yeah – good thing I had a very fast metabolism at the time.

Only when my step-dad would be over for dinner (while they were dating) that we would have “real food”.
So it is still an adjustment for me to have the pressure to always have such huge meals on an EVERY night basis. I blame him for my current figure 🙂

Sometimes it’s a struggle to figure out what to have on the side of whatever we are making. If we have a main dish of protein & a side of veggies – then I automatically think we need grain as the third item.
I don’t want to do buttered bread all the time – that’s boring. So the other night I whipped up these 15 Minute Drop Biscuits to have on the side of our soup. They were definitely a hit!
Here are some commonly asked questions
Can I use regular flour?
If you want to use regular flour, you will have to add an additional ingredient. The self-rising flour already contains the ingredient that helps this dough become biscuits.
To use all-purpose flour, add 4 teaspoons of baking powder to the 2 cups of all-purpose flour you will use for this recipe.
Can I use a mayo substitute?
I have not personally tried it, so I can’t say how that would turn out. You will still need a fat source to make these biscuits work. I have heard of some people trying sour cream in place of the mayo. Please let me know how it turns out if you give it a ry.
Can biscuits be frozen?
I have not tried freezing these after baking. I would recommend placing them in a zip-top freezer bag and storing for no more than 3 months before using again.

Can this recipe be doubled?
You can, and we do it often. If I know that I have a few meals coming up where we will want these on the side, I do a double or triple batch. Even though they are super fast to make, having some as leftovers keep me from having to run the oven again.
HOW DO YOU MAKE 15-Minute Drop Biscuits?
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees for a conventional or 375 for convection.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment. Set aside.
- In a medium-size mixing bowl – combine the flour, milk, and mayonnaise, stirring until just combined.
- Drop into tablespoon-size mounds onto the lined baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes – or until golden brown.
- Optional – brush with some melted butter immediately after removing from the oven.
What is the best way to store leftover drop biscuits?
I usually just place them in an airtight container or zip-top bag and leave them in the pantry. If you house is overly hot, I would refrigerate them until you are ready to serve again.
To make 15-Minute Drop Biscuits you will need…
