  • 1 cup Bisquick

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Add the flour, Bisquick, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda to a large mixing bowl. Stir well to combine the dry ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Add two tablespoons of the butter to the dough and use a spoon to press it into the flour mixture. I find it easiest to smear the butter against the sides of the bowl while working it into the flour. Once the first two tablespoons are completely incorporated, add in the last two tablespoons and repeat the process.
  4. Pour in the milk and stir with a spoon until just combined. The dough will likely be too wet. Add in more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is just dry enough to handle. Dough should come away clean from your fingers when you touch it, but stick to your fingers if you pinch it.
  5. Dump dough onto a well floured work surface. Sprinkle lightly with flour.
  6. Fold dough over on itself three times.
  7. Use your hands to pat the dough to 3/4 of an inch high.
  8. Cut dough out with biscuit cutter and place on baking sheet. Let sit 5 minutes before baking.
  9. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until tops are just beginning to turn golden. Do not overbake these!

Notes

  • You may use buttermilk in place of regular milk, if desired. 
  • Add more flour as needed, one tablespoon at a time, to bring the dough together. 
  • Set a timer for 10 minutes and keep a close eye on the biscuits as every oven is different.
