Bisquick biscuit recipe
This Bisquick biscuit recipe is the definition of quick and easy comfort food. With just a handful of ingredients and a few minutes of effort, you’ll have a tray of warm, golden brown biscuits ready to enjoy.
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups Bisquick baking mix – The base that makes these biscuits foolproof.
- ⅔ cup milk – Whole milk adds richness but any milk works.
- 2 tablespoons melted butter – For brushing tops giving that golden shine.
- Optional: add 1 teaspoon baking powder for extra lift, though Bisquick already contains it.
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the dough: In a medium bowl, stir together Bisquick mix and milk until a soft dough forms.
- Shape the biscuits:
- For drop biscuits: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet.
- For cut biscuits: Lightly flour a surface, roll dough ½–¾ inch thick, and cut with a biscuit cutter.
- Bake: Place on the baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden brown.
- Finish: Brush with melted butter right out of the oven. Serve warm.
Notes
- Don’t overmix – Stir just until the dough forms. Overmixing = tough biscuits.
- Keep dough inch thick – For fluffy biscuits, don’t roll too thin.
- Hot oven is key – The high heat gives biscuits their rise and golden crust.
- Skip the cutter if rushed – Drop biscuits are quicker and just as tasty.
- Brush with butter – Adds flavor and helps keep them soft.
