Make some delicious Buttery Bisquick Biscuits with only 4 ingredients. They’re easy to make (about 20 minutes total) and they taste amazing!
I don’t know about you, but our family LOVES biscuits. This unique recipe has a shortcut for making them by using Bisquick Baking Mix as the main ingredient!
This baking mix makes it very convenient and easy to make a quick batch of biscuits for breakfast or to serve with other meals.
The biscuits are very simple to make, taste wonderful, and I’m sure you are going to like them. Here’s how to make buttery Bisquick biscuits.

Preheat Oven
Before beginning, preheat your oven to 450°F. The biscuits don’t take too long to make, and you will need the oven hot before you can finish making the biscuits.
Prepare The Biscuit Dough
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 2 cups of Bisquick baking mix and 1½ teaspoons of baking powder. Once they’re combined, add 4 Tablespoons of COLD, grated butter to this mixture.
NOTE: This recipe calls for 6 Tablespoons total of cold grated butter, but you will only use 4 Tablespoons in the dough. Set the rest (2 Tablespoons) of the cold grated butter aside for later (it will be added to the skillet).
Use a pastry blender (or two forks) to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the butter becomes the size of peas.
Finish The Dough
Add 2/3 a cup (two-thirds) of milk to the dough mixture. Using a spoon, stir the ingredients only until they are fully combined.
The biscuit dough mixture will be quite thick and “shaggy” (slightly sticky) in texture, once all the ingredients are fully combined.
Sprinkle a work surface with flour and turn the dough out of the bowl onto the floured surface. Sprinkle the dough with a small bit of flour and use your hands to “gently” knead and fold the dough into itself 4-5 times.
Use your hands to gently press out the dough (or use a rolling pin) into it is about 1″ thick. It doesn’t matter whether it is a rectangle, square or circle shape, simply make sure it is about 1″ thick all over.
Melt Butter In Skillet While Cutting Out Biscuits
Before cutting out the biscuits, make sure the oven has preheated to 450°F. Add the reserved 2 Tablespoons of cold grated butter to a cast iron (or another oven-safe skillet).
Place the skillet in the oven while you cut out the biscuits. The butter will melt in the skillet during this time in the hot oven.
Cut Out The Biscuits
Use a biscuit cutter or a glass (I used a glass) to cut the biscuit dough into circles. The size of the biscuits will be determined by the size glass or biscuit cutter you use.
When I photographed the making of these biscuits, I used a tall drinking glass and ended up getting 5 beautiful biscuits out of the dough.
You can gather up any scraps of dough left over from your dough and smoosh them together very well in order to cut out an additional biscuit (or two).
Bake The Biscuits
Carefully remove the HOT skillet from the oven. All of the butter should have fully melted. Swirl the skillet around, so the bottom of the skillet is coated with the melted butter.
Place the buttery Bisquick biscuits into the skillet, leaving about ½ an inch between each biscuit, then put the skillet back into the hot oven.
Bake the buttery Bisquick biscuits at 450°F. for 13-16 minutes. When they’re done, they should be set, fully cooked through AND they should be a beautiful golden-brown color on top!
Time to Enjoy Buttery Bisquick Biscuits
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (careful- it is HOT!). Separate the biscuits and serve them immediately, while they’re still hot.
Cut those yummy biscuits in half and top with your favorite jam (or gravy). This time I had my biscuits topped with some of my home-canned marionberry jam and raspberry jam. YUM!
You might also love (or prefer) biscuits and gravy, and I highly recommend my recipe for Southern Bacon Gravy! It tastes fantastic on biscuits, too!
I hope you have the opportunity to make these delicious, buttery Bisquick biscuits for yourself and/or for those you love. They are delicious, and I’m confident you’ll enjoy them.

- 6 Tablespoons COLD butter* *DIVIDED USE!
- ⅔ cup milk
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Whisk together Bisquick mix and baking powder in a medium-sized bowl. Once combined, add 4 Tablespoons of COLD, grated butter (use a cheese grater for this). Set remaining 2 Tablespoons butter aside for later. Use a pastry blender (or 2 forks) to cut 4 Tbsp. butter into the mixture until it's the size of peas. Stir milk in, only until fully combined. The dough will be thick and "shaggy" (slightly sticky).
Sprinkle work surface with flour. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface. Sprinkle dough with a little flour. Using your hands, gently knead/fold the dough into itself 4-5 times. Use your hands (or a rolling pin) to press the dough out until it's 1" thick all over.
BEFORE CUTTING THE BISCUITS OUT- Add reserved 2 Tbsp. of cold grated butter to a cast iron or other oven-safe skillet. Place skillet in preheated 450℉. oven which will melt the butter (while you cut out the biscuits).
Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut the biscuit dough into circles. The size and quantity of the biscuits is determined by the size glass/biscuit cutter you use. You can gather up any scraps of dough left over and "smoosh" them together in order to cut out an additional biscuit.
Carefully remove HOT skillet from the oven. Swirl skillet around, so the bottom is coated with melted butter. Place biscuits in the skillet, leaving ½" between each one. Put skillet back in oven. Bake at 450°F. for 13-16 minutes. When done, biscuits should be cooked through AND golden brown on top! Separate biscuits; serve immediately with favorite toppings. Enjoy!
