Bisquick Drop Biscuits
- From waffles to dumplings, Bisquick mix is a home cook’s secret weapon! And these easy drop biscuits are a no-fail recipe for new cooks.
- Bake a batch or two and make sliders just in time for the big game. Try them with Instant Pot Meatball Sliders or these tasty BBQ Bacon Chicken Sliders.
- One bowl, one pan, and Bisquick drop biscuits are hot and ready in less than 20 minutes! The best biscuits you’ll ever bake.
5 Ingredient Recipe
BISQUICK: Keep a box (or two!) on hand for fast and easy baking. This recipe simply uses milk, cheddar cheese, and a little garlic to get restaurant-worthy, mouthwateringly delicious biscuits every time!
MILK: Whole milk (or cream) makes the biscuits moist and light, but non-dairy alternatives like oat or soy milk will work.
CHEESE: Choose your cheese! Cheddar has a sharp flavor that pairs well with most main dishes, but Swiss, Gruyere, or Monterey Jack cheeses deliver tangy flavors, too.
How to Make Drop Biscuits
Drop biscuits are so easy to make:
- Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and drop portions onto a prepared baking sheet.
- Bake (per recipe below) until biscuits are golden brown.
PRO TIP: Lightly flour the baking sheet to keep biscuits from sticking to the parchment paper.
Serving Suggestions
Cheesy drop biscuits are delicious on their own but are even better paired up and dipped into some Taco Chili, Beef Stew, or Chicken Rice Soup. Or serve drop biscuits alongside Crockpot Meatloaf or Instant Pot Ribs.
Recipe Tips & Time Savers
- For the lightest, fluffiest drop biscuits, avoid overmixing the dough. Any air bubbles trapped in the dough will help the biscuits rise while they bake.
- Sprinkle a little flour on the spoon before dropping the biscuits onto the baking sheet to keep the dough from sticking (it will be ‘shaggy’ in texture).
- Use a floured ice cream scoop to produce uniform-sized biscuits that will bake at the same rate.
- Store cooled leftover biscuits in a zippered bag or covered container at room temperature and use within 4 days.
- Freeze cooled biscuits on a sheet pan and then transfer the frozen biscuits to a zippered bag with the date labeled on the outside for up to 8 weeks.
