Calories 354kcal
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups Original Bisquick mix
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 2/3 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450ºF (232ºC).
- In a medium mixing bowl whisk together Bisquick (2 1/4 cups), baking powder (2 teaspoons), and sugar (1 teaspoon).
- Toss butter cubes (1/3 cup) with Bisquick mixture to coat. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter.
- Add milk (2/3 cup) and beat just until combined and a soft dough forms (do not over mix or biscuits will become tough.)
- Drop by the heaping tablespoonful onto ungreased baking sheets 2 inches apart. Bake in preheated oven until tops are golden, about 8-10 minutes.
- Brush with melted butter (3 tablespoons) and serve.
Notes
- Measure the Bisquick correctly. Use fluff → spoon → sweep so you don’t pack too much mix into the cup (too much mix = dry, dense biscuits).
- Keep the butter and milk cold. Cold butter melts in the oven and creates steam, which helps the biscuits rise and stay tender.
- Mix just until combined. Stop as soon as the dry mix disappears — overmixing makes biscuits tough.
- Don’t overbake. Pull them when they’re puffed and lightly golden; extra minutes dry biscuits out fast.
