Drop biscuits are a staple item in my home. We have them at least 3 times a week. I make a triple batch and just keep them in the fridge until we need them. I add flax seed to my biscuits, just to add some omega to it.

Just wanted to let you know that I made these! Unfortunately I was in a hurry and I didn’t get to make the honey butter, but I really wish I did! Honestly my fiance thought they were a little plain, but I know the honey butter would have changed his mind. But I was really impressed with how *filling* these little biscuits are…. I have been making little mini-sandwiches out of them and I swear, one or two of these fill me up for hours! I love that. :)
