Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

Ingredients You’ll Need
2¼ cups Bisquick baking mix
⅔ cup milk
1 tablespoon oil or melted butter optional, for extra richness
1½ teaspoons baking powder optional, for added lift
4 –6 tablespoons cold butter cubed or grated (optional, for flakier layers)

Method

Step 1: Prep Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper so nothing sticks (and cleanup stays easy).

Step 2: Combine the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the Bisquick mix and milk until a soft, sticky dough forms.Want richer flavor? Mix in oil or melted butter at this stage.

👉 Tip: If using extra baking powder, whisk it into the dry mix first before adding liquid.

Step 3: Add Butter for Flaky Texture (Optional)

For that bakery-style bite, fold in cold butter. Grated frozen butter works best—quick, easy, and evenly distributed.

Step 4: Scoop & Shape

Use a heaping tablespoon to drop portions of dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Leave a little space between each biscuit.

Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection

Bake on the center rack for 8–12 minutes, until the tops turn lightly golden.

Step 6: Cool Slightly & Serve

Let biscuits rest for about 5 minutes before serving. They’ll finish setting and taste even better warm.
