Biscuits can be made from a variety of ingredients and use different techniques, ultimately resulting in different textures. A few types of biscuits include: - Drop biscuits: These are the easiest type of biscuits to make since the dough is simply dropped onto the baking sheet before baking. - Rolled biscuits: These types of biscuits are generally folded and rolled, then cut into shapes using a knife or biscuit cutter. - Buttermilk biscuits: Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and contributes to a light and tender texture, making buttermilk biscuits very popular, particularly in the Southern US.
