Chicken Chowder and Drop Biscuits

A chowder that is easy to make – you mostly ignore it and biscuits that mix up/bake while the soup finishes. Perfect for a really rainy winter evening 🙂 It was a nice dinner that warmed up inside.

Baking powder Drop Biscuits

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup cold butter, diced up

Stir the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Add in the butter and work into small crumbs with your fingers.

Divide the dough evenly between the prepared cups (a 3-Tablespoon Disher works well), bake for 12 minutes or until golden on top. Pop out onto a cooling rack and serve right away.
