Black Pepper Drop Biscuits

Drop biscuits are exactly what they sound like--biscuits that are formed by scooping and dropping dough on your June Pan instead of a messy and labor-intensive rolling and cutting process. By handling the dough less, you ensure the biscuits will be fluffy and tender. These savory biscuits get a flavor punch from fresh cracked pepper, and the addition of sour cream gives them a pillowy-soft texture and a tang similar to buttermilk, but with a bit more decadence.
