How To Make Bisquick Rolled Biscuit Recipe
Making these takes jus a few minutes.
- Simply mix your dry ingredients
- Cut-in your butter.
- Add your wet ingredients and roll them out. Voila!
- You’re ready to cut some awesome homemade biscuits and throw them in the oven. Just don’t forget to brush the tops with heavy cream.
Recipe Notes
Okay, there’s a couple of little tricks to help bring your biscuits to life and ensure they’re totally awesome! You’ll want to mix the dry ingredients first before cutting in your butter or adding anything wet.
- Mixing dry ingredients separately helps with dispersion, emulsification, and flavor but that’s not all. Mixing strengthens gluten which can make baked goods tough and chewy. Combining dry ingredients separately means you’ll have to do less mixing when you add the other stuff.
- Besides saving your shoulder, mixing with a light hand will give you soft fluffy biscuits. Don’t overdo it!
- Cubing the butter allows you can incorporate it quickly before it warms up and softens! Super important for flakiness.
- The Rise: These aren’t a super high biscuit. They have a nice rise and an incredible texture.

Bisquick Rolled Bisquick Ingredients
- Biscuick – So here’s a little trick from my Grandma. It’s not absolutely necessary but it’s served me well in all of my biscuit-making forays. Place the Bisquick in a metal bowl in the fridge overnight. It helps get it really cold and can lead to a better rise on the biscuit.
- Baking Powder – Doesn’t Bisquick already have this included? Yes, it does. However, after baking these for decades, I’ve learned that adding a little extra baking powder ensures these bad boys bake up much lighter and fluffier, just like you want them to, right?! Be sure your baking soda is fresh for best results.
- Sugar – Adding in a little bit of sugar (just a tad) does wonder for the flavor of your biscuits. Try it once and you’ll be hooked.
- Butter – You’ll want to use unsalted butter cut up into small cubes. Cutting it up into small cubes makes it easier to cut-in to your dry ingredients. I like to cut up my butter, spread it out on a small plate, and stick it into the fridge for 30 minutes or the freezer for 12 minutes before I get started.
- Cream – Brushing just a little heavy cream over the top of your biscuits before they go into the oven will help them brown nicely and gives them that great little pop of extra flavor. Like all of the best recipe tricks, I learned this from my Grandma!
- Rolling: Gently use a rolling pin to roll out biscuits. If you use your hands (I do sometimes) make sure they’re cold. You can dip them into ice water or at least rinse them in very cold water.
- Spacing – Place the raw biscuits on a baking sheet with the sides of the biscuits touching, this will help them rise. They stick together and pull each other up as they bake.

Storing + Freezing + Make-Ahead
Storing is easy if you have any leftovers. These guys are so yummy they tend to get gobbled up quickly.
- How Long Can You Keep This In The Fridge? They will keep in a resealable plastic bag in the fridge. Remove as much air as possible from the bag before sealing to prevent your biscuits from drying out. They keep for 3-4 days in the fridge.
- Can You Freeze This? You sure can! You’ll want to make sure your biscuits cool completely before preparing them for storage. When I freeze mine, I like to wrap them in plastic wrap to protect them from the air before tossing them in a freezer bag. It’s an extra step and it’s not required but it works!
- Make-Ahead Tips: This Bisquick rolled biscuit is so simple there’s really no prep to speak of. You can pre-measure your dry ingredients and store them separately but that’s about it. At least that much can be premixed and ready to go.

Not sure why these are ranked low by some as these are stellar biscuits. The key take-aways are keeping the ingredients cold and not handling the dough too much. Personally, I use a cheese grater for the butter and then pop it back into the freezer for a bit before cutting it into the flour mixture, The small shreds quickly incorporate into the dry mixture. I’ve served these biscuits to friends and family and got nothing but rave reviews. By the way, I use a shiny sheet pan with silicone baking mat and my biscuits rise just fine.
Hey Jene. I can’t figure out why either!! We adore these biscuits and think the texture is absolutely divine!
I love this
I absolutely love this recipe and it’s now definitely my go to. The flavor and texture is perfect. My biscuits rise and are tender and flaky but they’re very crumbly. Any ideas?
Hi MJ. These biscuits are a little more crumbly than most. They’re so tender that I can live with it!!
I had the same problem as Brenda. Mine didn’t rise well either. My baking soda was good, no problem with it being old. I also liked the flavor. Wondering if less milk would make a difference. Dough seemed far to wet.
Hi Dawn. I’m not sure what’s going on. Here’s a list of things that might help. I wonder if there’s a little tweak that could possibly make a difference. This really is a tried and true recipe so I hope it does! <3
There are a few other reasons that biscuits don't rise.
1. If the butter isn't cold enough
2. If the oven wasn't preheated and hot enough
A few simple tricks that improve rise
1. Mixing in a chilled metal bowl can help the rise
2. Chilling the Bisquick in a metal bowl overnight can help as well
3. Place the raw biscuits on baking sheet with the sides touching, this will help them rise. They stick together and pull each other up as they bake
I like the flavor, but they didn’t rise anymore that a fat chocolate chip cookie. I only had 2% milk, but that shouldn’t affect the rising, right? Help??
Hi, Brenda. I suspect it’s the baking powder. To test if your baking powder is still ok…drop some baking powder in hot water if it fizzes or bubbled it’s still good. If not, you have to replace it with a new one. Stale baking powder will affect how baked goods rise. I hope this helps! <3
