How do you make biscuits with Bisquick?
To make biscuits with Bisquick, start by combining the mix with milk until a soft dough forms. From here, you have two options for baking:
Biscuit Cutter: For best results, roll out the biscuit dough evenly to about ½ inch thickness so the biscuits bake uniformly. Use a sharp round cookie cutter and avoid twisting the cutter as this can seal the edges and prevent proper rising.
Drop Biscuits: If you prefer drop biscuits, drop the dough by tablespoons onto a greased baking sheet instead of rolling and cutting. This method is quicker and requires less cleanup.
Bisquick Muffin Mix
Whip up fluffy muffins fast by combining Bisquick, milk, sugar, oil, egg, and your favorite mix-ins. Add the batter to a muffin pan and bake in a preheated oven.
Bisquick Pancake Mix Instructions
Now that you have the homemade version prepared, you can easily prepare pancakes for a delicious breakfast or brunch treat!
Simply whisk 1 cup homemade Bisquick mix, 1 cup milk, and 1 egg. Let rest 5 minutes. Pour ¼ cup batter onto a greased griddle over medium heat. Cook, flipping once, until golden brown.
Bisquick Waffle Mix Instructions
Homemade waffles can also be made using this homemade mix. You only need a few pantry staples to add to the mix.
Heat and grease your waffle iron. Whisk 2 cups of the homemade baking mix, 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons oil, and 2 eggs in a bowl until just combined. Pour batter onto the hot iron and cook until golden brown and steaming stops.

Before you head to the kitchen, let's make sure you have everything you need! Here's a quick rundown of the ingredients for this recipe. You can find the exact amounts in the handy printable recipe card below.
Recipe Substitutions and Variations
Substitute margarine or shortening for the butter. However, keep in mind the flavor and texture may differ slightly from the original recipe.
You can use a pastry blender and work the cold butter into the baking mix by hand or use a food processor if you have one.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Add flour, baking powder, and salt to a bowl and whisk together.
Step 2: Cut cold cubes of butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or fork until they're pea sized.
Quick Tip
Make sure the butter is really cold so it doesn't fully incorporate into the flour mixture. These little bits of butter will create pockets of steam when baked to make flaky and airy biscuits.
Step 3: Transfer the homemade baking mix to a jar or airtight container.
Step 4: To make homemade biscuits, Mix 1 ½ cups of your bisquick mix with ½ cup milk until dough forms. Knead on a flour surfaced until well combined.
Baking Instructions
Step 5: Roll the dough out on a floured surface and cut biscuits out with a round cutter.
Step 6: Bake at 400°F for 7-9 minutes until golden brown.

Can you substitute all purpose regular flour for Bisquick mix?
You cannot directly substitute all-purpose flour for Bisquick mix. Bisquick is a pre-mixed baking mix containing flour, leavening agents (like baking powder), salt, and shortening.
Why didn't my Bisquick biscuits rise?
If your biscuits are not rising, check the freshness of your baking powder. Old or expired baking powder may not be effective. Also, avoid overworking the dough, as this can prevent proper rising.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
Refrigerate: Store the mix in an airtight container like a Mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 months to keep it fresh and prevent the butter from going rancid.
Freezer: Freeze the mix in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
Thaw: Thaw the frozen mix in the refrigerator before use.
