I'm a big fan of homemade biscuits, but not the rolling and cutting that goes into making them. The drop-biscuit method solves everything! —Christina Addison, Blanchester, Ohio

3 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt

1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1-1/4 cups 2% milk
