Ingredients
2 1/4cupsOriginal Bisquick mix,plus extra for rolling
2teaspoonsbaking powder
1teaspoongranulated sugar
1/3cupcold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes and placed in the fridge for 30 minutes.
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.)
Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface. Roll dough out to 1/2 an inch thick. Use a 2 1/2-inch round cutter to cut biscuits. Brush tops with heavy cream (2-3 tablespoons). Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, with the sides of the biscuits touching.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Brush the tops of hot with melted butter (2 tablespoons) if desired.
Notes
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.
