If you love making biscuits in any flavor then you’ll love the Cheddar Ranch Drop Biscuits flavor combination. To make these simple cheddar-ranch drop biscuits, there’s no rolling and cutting required which makes them especially suited for busy days. You mix-up the dough, then drop them into mounds onto baking sheets, making each one unique in shape.
I know it will come as no surprise that I love biscuits. From classic buttermilk, to simple cream biscuits, to biscuits filled with bacon or sausage or any other mix-in I can imagine. Another perk, is so few ingredients are needed, which makes them even more stress-free and simple to make. These biscuits garner much of their flavor from a prepared buttermilk ranch dip, yes, that’s right a sour cream based ranch dip. I like to mix-in a little extra garlic powder for an added punch of flavor. They bake-up soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Serve them as the sidekick for any meal any time of day.

August 31, 2015 at 1:26 pmSince the base of ranch dip is sour cream, you can use the same amount of full fat sour cream. However, you will need to add dry Ranch seasoning if you have that available in your market to make these biscuits.
