    How to make Biscuits

    You’d think making homemade biscuits would be pretty hard. It’s actually very easy! Here’s all you need to do…
    1. Thoroughly sift and combine your dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
    2. Work your cold butter into the dry mix before gradually adding your milk and buttermilk until a workable dough forms.
    3. Cut your biscuit rounds before baking at 450 degrees until nice and browned.

    Sifting biscuit dry ingredients to make biscuits

    You might be wondering “why do you have to sift dry ingredients so much-” especially for something like biscuits. There are a few reasons but we’re most focused on are that it makes mixing ingredients a bit easier. It also introduces a lot of air into our baked goods- perfect for making fluffy biscuits! We’d recommend sifting your dry ingredients 3 times for the best results.

    Mixing the sifted dry ingredients for Best Biscuits

    Once the dry mix is sifted and mixed together, we can start adding our butter. Cut your cold butter into workable pieces and toss it in with your dry ingredients. Using something like a dough blender, start working everything together

    Cut butter slices added to dry ingredients

    Eventually, you’ll get this nice crumbly, almost-sandy texture. Once you get here, move on to the next steps.

    Using pastry cutter to cut in butter pats

    Combine your milk and buttermilk if you haven’t already and transfer to a measuring cup with a spout. While stirring constantly, slowly start streaming your milk mixture into the crumbly dough. Slowly but surely, it’ll start turning into one cohesive ball of dough. You don’t want the dough too wet though- you want it dry enough that you can handle it without it sticking to your hands.

    Gradually adding milk and buttermilk to dry ingredients

    Once you’ve got a workable dough, transfer it to a well-floured countertop or work surface and shape it into a rectangle. Aim for about 1/2-inch thick- no need to be exact!

    Using something like a round cutter or a mason jar lid, cut out your biscuit rounds. Make sure to roll that dough back out when you’re done- you might be able to get an extra biscuit or two!

    Cutting biscuit dough

    Transfer your cut biscuit rounds to a baking sheet and then send into a 450 degree oven. Make sure you keep a close eye on them- everyone’s ovens are different and they may need 5 minutes more or less.

    Generally speaking, these biscuits will take around 10-15 minutes. Once they’ve browned to your liking, your biscuits are done! Pull from the oven and brush your Bisquick Biscuits a bit of melted butter before serving and enjoying.

    Tips for Perfect Biscuits

    • Use the freshest ingredients – There’s a reason we say use the freshest baking soda and powder you have. Once you open containers of products like baking soda, they will slowly start to lose their potency. Especially so with baking powder: using old baking powder will usually result in your biscuits not rising as well.
    • Sift, sift, sift! – How do you get airy, flaky, fluffy biscuits? Sift as much as possible! While you obviously don’t want to sift dozens of times, a good few passes through a sifter will introduce plenty of air into your biscuits. That’s how to make Bisquick Biscuits fluffy!
    • Use a gentle hand – If you always come out with tough biscuits, you might be working the dough too hard. As your adding your milk to the dough, gently work it in.

    Serving Ideas

    • Top your biscuits with all of your favorite jams and preserves. There’s also a whole world of butters and spread you can add to your biscuits. Start with some of our homemade Cinnamon Butter!
    • If you love a good breakfast sandwich, consider using your freshly-baked biscuits for buns! Throw some eggs, cheese, and sausage between the biscuit halves for a delicious breakfast sandwich!

    How long do Bisquick Biscuits last?

    • Room Temperature – Kept in an airtight container, these homemade biscuits will stay fresh for about 2 days at room temperature.
    • In The Fridge – Expect your biscuits to stay good for about a week in the fridge if stored properly in an airtight container.
    • Freezing Biscuits – Wrap your cooled biscuits tightly in foil and keep in an airtight container or ziploc bag. Kept in the freezer, they should stay good for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven for about 10-20 minutes at 350 degrees.
