I am a biscuit fanatic! My grandmother made a biscuit like this one from a flavor perspective but she had to roll them out and cut them. I figured that was too much work in my tiny (non-counter-space-having) camper. I also found that most drop biscuit recipes require a food processor to incorporate cold butter with the flour. This is an absolutely delicious way to get tender, flaky biscuits. However, a food processor did not make the cut in our tiny space (I do have a Vitamix that will do the trick but I left it at my sisters). I knew there had to be a way to make biscuits easy - one bowl, one measuring cup, one spoon, etc. These are so yummy! Note, that I don't like sweet biscuits and that includes buttermilk biscuits. I like a really baking-powder kind of flavor. I'll put changes/additions if you want a sweeter biscuit like you'd get at Bob Evans.

Toaster Oven Drop Biscuits (Sweeter Version in parenthesis)

2 cups flour 1 Tbls baking powder 1/4 tsp salt (2 Tbls sugar) 1/2 cup butter, melted 1 cup milk (or 1 cup buttermilk)

Preheat oven to 450. Move the rack to the center (see pic) - this helps ensure that your biscuits won't burn on the bottom. If your toaster oven doesn't have a moving rack, reduce the temp to 400. Mil flour, baking powder, and salt. Melt 1/2 cup butter in a 2 cup measuring cup. Pour milk on top of melted butter until the measuring cup reads 1 1/2 cups. Dump into the dry mixture. Combine gently with a folding over motion. Batter will be lumpy. Drop spoonfuls onto your baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the tips just start to get brown.

These are so tender and crispy on the outside but they actually stay together. If you want to split them and add butter you should make them a little larger. I make them the size of 2 bites and don't even need butter. Enjoy!
