While made with similar ingredients, rolled and dropped biscuits are totally different! Traditional biscuit dough is firm and can be formed into balls or cut into a circle before loading them into the oven. Drop biscuits have a lot more moisture and are unable to be kneaded or hold a particular form. The cheesy dough in this recipe are simply dropped from a spoon or fork and fall into uneven piles on the pan. Once the cooking process has started, you'll also notice that drop biscuits don't rise as much as other biscuit recipes and have a coarser texture and rustic finish!
