Fluffy biscuits warm from the oven are a treat, but I have never enjoyed the extra work of kneading and rolling out biscuits. Whereas a good drop biscuit cuts out half of the labor.
These are excellent for serving with a soup or chowder, or even better? Make up sausage gravy and ladle it over the biscuits.
