    The Best Bisquick Buttermilk Biscuits

    These easy Bisquick buttermilk biscuits are super soft, buttery, and sweet! This is the perfect biscuit recipe to throw together when you want something quick and delicious. 

    I almost always prefer biscuits to dinner rolls in the evening and toast in the morning. There is something that is just so much more special about a biscuit.

    They are also amazing with bourbon honey butter or strawberry bourbon jam.

    Why you will love this recipe:

    Bisquick is such a great baking mix; my mom and grandmother would make so many amazing things with their mix (this Bisquick coffee cake is also amazing!)  

    Bisquick baking mix makes things quick and easy because it has so many of your ingredients in the mixture. It comes with flour, fat (vegetable oil), leavening agents, salt, and sugar. You just need to add in ingredients to add moisture and structure, like milk and eggs. This recipe adds a bit more sugar and some vanilla, but on the whole, Bisquick has most of what you need.

    Making buttermilk biscuits with biscuits makes making biscuits as easy as using canned biscuits!

    Key Ingredients:

    Bisquick: Bisquick as so much of what you need built right in. It has your flour, leavening agents, fat, and some sugar. 

    Buttermilk: Buttermilk is also key to a good biscuit. Buttermilk contains acid, which, when combined with the baking powder and baking soda, helps the dough to rise. Buttermilk also helps to keep the dough tender and soft. 

    Butter: These are topped with melted butter to give them an extra burst of butter flavor.

    Step by step instructions:

    • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees 
    • Lightly mix the buttermilk and Bisquick together until a rough dough forms.
    • Roll the dough out onto a lightly dusted surface.
    • Press or roll the dough into a 1/4 inch rectangle and fold the dough onto itself in thirds. Like you would fold a sheet of paper. Press or roll the dough out to 1/4 inch again and repeat the fold. Press or roll out the dough out again to a 1/4 inch rectangle. 
    • Using a floured cutter cut out your biscuits and place them right next to each other on a lined baking sheet. Having all your biscuits touching will help them to rise.
    • Brush with melted butter. 
    • Bake for 8-10 minutes.

    Tips and tricks for success: 

    • Use cold buttermilk to help achieve those gorgeous biscuit layers. 
    • Place the biscuits close to each other on the baking sheet; this also helps them rise.
    • Serve with homemade bourbon honey butter from this recipe for a real treat.

    FAQ's:

    How do you finish your biscuits?

    If a soft biscuit top is your jam, then a butter wash would be ideal for you, and if you want extra tangy biscuits, brush yours with buttermilk. You really can't make a wrong decision here.

    How long will these biscuits keep?

    These are best made the same day, but they will keep in an airtight container for two days.

        I am a biscuit maker from way-back, and love to try new recipes. Look forward to this one. One question. I usually add Crisco to my pan/iron skillet. Recommend to me; none, light, or more. I like a crispy bottom.

          Hi Terri! Thanks so much for being interested in these! The Bisquick mix has shortening in it, so I would say go light. Have a great weekend!
