While you can certainly make traditional rolled biscuits in the Omnia Stove Top Baking Oven, drop biscuits are much easier and there’s a lot less mess to clean up. It only takes about 5 minutes to mix them up and put them in the pan, then 10 minutes to bake.

Drop Biscuits for the Omnia Oven
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup canola oil or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Batter will be thick but not stiff. As flour can vary a bit, add a few drops of milk if it's too stiff.
- Preheat the base of the Omnia over high heat for three minutes while doing the next step.
- Grease the food pan with a little vegetable oil or dab of butter or margarine. Drop the biscuits by equal spoonfuls, spacing them out evenly around the pan. Place the lid on the pan.
- Place the pan on the Omnia base and leave the burner set at high for one minute. Then turn the burner down to medium and bake for 9 minutes. The tops of the biscuits will not be brown, but they will look cooked. If you're not sure if they're done, quickly stick a knife into the center of one — there should not be any raw dough on it when removed.
- Serve hot!
