Easy Bisquick Drop Biscuits
Keeping things simple is the name of the game with these Bisquick drop biscuits. Fluffy and tender, they're easy to make--no rolling and cutting required!
Ingredients
- 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (divided)
- 2/3 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, 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.
- Use an ice cream scoop or large cookie scoop to scoop out rounds of biscuit dough, placing them on the lined baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, until golden brown on top. Remove from oven.
- 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!
Notes
- 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.
