Savory Drop Biscuits 4 College Cooking

Sometimes you know you can't go wrong...like with this simply incredible and decadent version of drop biscuits!! (Not sure there is such a thing as a non-decadent or healthy biscuit...anyhow...moving on!)


Found this one in Bon Appetit February 2016 edition; and, it couldn't be better for college cooking! Add these little bites to your "quick-fix" arsenal of 'Sides'. These biscuits are especially great for soups or breakfast--imagine this tasty morsel with a piece of bacon, cheddar and egg!

You gotta try these today! And...share a few! 
Feel free to experiment. I added a handful of sharp cheddar and accidentally added 1 tsp of baking soda--oh well, turned out just fine by me--fluffy, rich, but not heavy, and fantastic with a Raspberry Pepper Jam I had received from @lucilleskitchen in my @Quarterly box--perfect!
