How to Make Mary's Sweet Drop Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1/2 cup cold shortening (vegetable or butter) using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 3/4 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each biscuit.
- Place baking sheet in the center of the oven.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
- Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm with your favorite toppings.
