Fannie Farmer of the famed Boston School of Cooking, called drop biscuits "Emergency Biscuits," which is appropriate considering that all you need to make them is 25. These classic Southern homemade biscuits by Paula Deen are cooked in a skillet. Try them tonight! I call these the 20 Minute Homemade Biscuits I’ve made these countless times over the years . Thank you for the easy peasy biscuit recipe. While I have tried other quick and easy biscuit recipes, what I like best about this one is that they are drop biscuits. Not only is it easier and quicker to throw.
