I’ve had a recipe marked for a while for a zucchini drop biscuit. It seemed like a good way to use up one last stray zucchini from the farmers market. It’s a pretty good recipe, nothing special. But it did lead me to the idea of a proper biscuit. I do love a biscuit, and think they are a real treat with special add-ins.
