Super versatile drop biscuits that I love because they don't require unsalted butter or buttermilk. Easy!
Ingredients
2 cups Flour
1-½ Tablespoon Baking Powder
2 teaspoons Sugar
½ teaspoons Cream Of Tartar
1 teaspoon Salt
½ cups Butter, Softened
1 cup Milk
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix until it forms coarse crumbs. Add the milk and stir just until mixed. Place by spoonfuls (about 1/4 cup to make 15 biscuits) onto a parchment covered sheet pan. Bake until puffed and golden, about 15 minutes.
Variations
1-2 teaspoons of herbs (dill is my favorite), or
1 cup shredded cheese - 3/4 in the dough, 1/4 on top

Ingredients
1 package active dry yeast (2 teaspoons)
1 cup warm water (105° to 115°, no more)
3 cups all-purpose or bread flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus a little for coating
Directions
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Set aside.
By hand: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the olive oil and yeast mixture into it. Stir until it begins to form a ball, then turn it out onto a clean, floured surface and knead for about 4 or 5 minutes.
In a mixer: Using a dough hook, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Add the liquid ingredients and mix on low until the dough begins to clump around the dough hook. Remove and knead as above.
Lightly oil the mixing bowl, put dough in, and let rise for one hour. Punch dough down and knead a few minutes. Use a roller to flatten it for the pizzas.
