Soften butter...about 20 seconds in microwave & combine to dry until it becomes a crumb consistency. Make a well & combine milk. You will need a little more than a cup of milk! Not quite a 4th of a cup. Just eyeball it. The dough needs to be very moist (wetter than normal drop biscuits), but not soupy. Preheat an oven to 425 degrees. Spray a cake pan with non-stick spray & drop biscuits into pan with a large tablespoon (about 2 tablespoons for each biscuit)...makes around 7 or 8 biscuits. Bake for about 18 to 20 minutes depend
