Bisquick Drop Biscuits: the effortless recipe for tasty, flaky biscuits

Light and fluffy, with a slightly crispy golden brown outside, Bisquick drop biscuits are the perfect fast, easy biscuit recipe every home cook should know. Unlike classic drop biscuits, you only need Bisquick and milk (or water, if you prefer) to make this recipe, so it’s ideal for those moments when you need a last-minute side dish to serve with dinner.

The best part is you can customize the recipe and add other ingredients to your drop biscuits. A sprinkle of cheese, chives, bacon, or fresh herbs will add amazing flavor to these tasty biscuits. Bisquick drop biscuits go great with just about anything. Enjoy them with soups, stews, roasts, or on their own!

What are Drop Biscuits?

Drop biscuits are similar to the classic biscuit but are a little easier to make. Instead of rolling out and cutting the biscuit dough, you scoop the batter out and drop it onto the baking sheet in spoonfuls – hence the name. They're lighter with a slightly crispier texture than regular biscuits, but they taste just as delicious!

How to Make Bisquick Drop Biscuits

You can whip up a batch of Bisquick drop biscuits in no time at all. Here's what to do. Preheat your oven to 450°F. Take your milk and your Bisquick mix, and whisk them in a large bowl, making sure not to over-combine the ingredients. You don't want hard biscuits! Next, grab a tablespoon and drop the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop the baking tray in the oven and bake the biscuits for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.

Drop Biscuit Variations

There are so many tasty add-ins you can mix into your Bisquick drop biscuit batter. Add in some grated cheddar cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, chopped chives, pancetta, bacon, olives, or sausage, or some fresh herbs like rosemary, basil and thyme.

Make them sweet with a handful of dried fruit or some chocolate chips.
