What are Drop Biscuits?
Drop biscuits are just like regular biscuits, but with no rolling required. Just scoop the dough onto a baking pan with an icecream or mashed potato scoop (or a super large cookie scoop)! No mess, no rolling, no floury countertops. No fuss!
You can make these Cheesy Cheddar & Herb Drop Biscuits to eat by themselves, or as a side with dinner. You can also make them without the cheddar or herbs and use them over a casserole or on top of cobbler!
What Ingredients Do I Need?
Only a few pantry staples, plus your favourite plant-based cheddar, butter and milk! I like to use Becel buttery sticks, oat milk, and Daiya cheddar shreds.
- All-Purpose Flour
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Sugar
- Mixed Herbs
- Vegan Butter
- Nondairy Milk
- Vegan Cheese Shreds
How to Make these Cheesy Cheddar & Herb Drop Biscuits:
It only takes a few simple steps to make them!
- Whisk together the dry ingredients. Simple as that! Flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and mixed herbs.
- Cut in the cold vegan butter with a pastry blender. You could also pulse it all in a food processor!
- Add the nondairy milk and stir until just combined. This dough is slightly stickier than regular biscuit dough, but that’s fine because you just scoop it with a scoop and don’t need to worry about getting your hands all messy.
- Bake in preheated oven until golden brown. Remove and let cool slightly before enjoying.

★★★★★
happy you enjoyed! 🙂
Lovely but, mine came out really crumbly. Any advice??
★★★★
Hmm did you make any substitutions of ingredients?
Delicious and so easy and fast to make. Goes so well with soup as the weather gets colder. Thank you.
Perfect crisp outside, soft crumb inside! I think they’d also be yummy with butter and jam if I leave out the cheese and herbs.
★★★★★
Very simple biscuit recipe and super easy to make. The drop technique is faster and less mess than traditional biscuit methods. I used Country Crock Plant Butter sticks, Herbs de Provence (from Trader Joe’s), soy milk and vegan mozzarella shreds (because that’s what I had on hand). They were just as the recipe states: soft on the inside and a nice crunch on the outside. I served these biscuits along side split pea soup and my family really liked them.

Herbally challenged any suggestions on herbs? Did I miss this part?
