Sesame & Sunflower Drop Biscuits

Sesame and Sunflower Drop Biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make variation of traditional biscuits. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side dish for dinner. Here’s how to make them:

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand.
  4. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk and sour cream.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms.
  6. Add the sesame and sunflower seeds to the dough and stir until they are evenly distributed.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or a spoon to drop the dough onto a greased baking sheet.
  8. Bake the biscuits in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until they are golden brown on top.
  9. Let the biscuits cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
