I’ll be honest, I love homemade biscuits, but I don’t always have the time or patience to roll and cut dough, especially on a busy weeknight.
These Bisquick drop biscuits are the perfect shortcut. You still get that warm, fresh-from-the-oven comfort without turning your kitchen upside down.
Drop biscuits made with Bisquick are great for breakfast, but they’re also ideal for when dinner needs a little something extra. Maybe it’s a pot of soup simmering on the stove or a simple family meal that just needs a filling side to round it out.
I love making the best Bisquick biscuits, which are rolled out and cut, but when I need an even faster shortcut, I opt for drop biscuits.
I can mix these up in minutes, scoop them onto a pan, and have something warm and satisfying on the table before anyone even asks what’s for dinner.
What I really love is how dependable they are. They bake up into soft, tender, fluffy drop biscuits every time, with just enough buttery flavor to make them feel homemade.
A quick brush of melted butter on top at the end takes them over the top, and no one ever complains when these show up alongside a meal.

Prepare the dough. First, you’ll whisk together Bisquick and baking powder. Use a cheese grater to grate 2 tablespoons of the butter (or cut it into very small pieces).
Use two forks or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the Bisquick mixture, until the pieces are pea-size or smaller.
Add the milk to the mixture, stirring just enough to combine into a soft dough. You don’t want any dry patches in the dough, but you don’t want to overwork the dough either, as that can make your biscuits tough.
Drop and bake the biscuits. Then, you’ll use an ice cream scoop or large cookie scoop to scoop out rounds of biscuit dough, placing them on the lined baking sheet.
If you don’t have a scoop, just use two spoons to scoop and drop the dough. These don’t need to be perfectly shaped–they’re a rustic type biscuit.
Bake in preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, until golden brown on top. Remove from oven.
Serve. Microwave the remaining tablespoon of butter to melt it, then brush it over the tops of the biscuits while they’re still warm.
Then serve and enjoy, topping each biscuit with butter or your favorite spread.
Notes and Adaptations:
- This makes about 9 biscuits.
- Grating the butter just makes it easier to mix into the Bisquick. You can always cut it into small pieces instead.
- Leftover biscuits can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for a couple of days.
- Although Bisquick already contains some fat, the added butter helps give the biscuits a softer texture, a hint of buttery flavor, and promotes browning on top.
