Can you say “Butter Biscuits” five times fast? These tender and flaky biscuits are sure to disappear from the plate in no time. Perfect for breakfast or as a side dish, this simple recipe will have everyone asking for more!
Ingredients
1/3 cup butter or margarine (firm)
2 1/2 cups Original Bisquick™ mix
2/3 cup milk
Butter or margarine, melted (for brushing)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F).
Cut the butter into small 0.6 cm (1/4 inch) pieces.
In a bowl, mix the Bisquick™ mix and butter pieces using a fork until the butter is well-coated with the mixture.
Add milk and stir just until it’s absorbed, but be careful not to overmix the dough.
Sprinkle some Bisquick™ mix on a flat surface and turn out the dough. Knead it gently five times.
Flatten the dough to a 1.25 cm (1/2 inch) thickness.
Use a 7.5 cm (3 inch) cookie cutter to cut out biscuits. Place them on an ungreased cookie sheet.
For softer edges, let the biscuits touch. For crispier edges, space them 2 inches apart.
Bake for about 9 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Brush the tops with melted butter immediately after baking.
Tips for Perfect Biscuits
For softer biscuits, knead the dough only five times to make it smooth but not sticky.
If you prefer not to knead the dough, reduce the Bisquick™ mix to 2 1/4 cups and skip the kneading step. Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto a cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes for an easy drop biscuit.
These buttery biscuits are so delicious, sharing might be difficult—unless, of course, sharing is caring!
