Bisquik Cheddar Biscuits
Servings: 8 pieces
Ingredients
Biscuits
- 2 cups Bisquick Mix
- ¾ cup Milk
- ¼ cup Butter - melted
- ¾ cup Cheddar cheese - shredded
Topping
- ⅓ cup Butter - melted
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Parsley
Instructions
- Pre heat oven to 425°F. In small bowl, stir together Topping ingredients; set aside.
- In medium bowl, stir Biscuit ingredients until soft dough forms. Drop dough by 8 spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake 16 to 18 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Immediately brush hot biscuits with Topping.
Notes
- Use cold ingredients: Keep your butter, cheese, and even your milk cold. This helps create steam pockets during baking, giving the biscuits a tender, flaky texture.
- Grate your own cheddar: Pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking agents that can affect melt and texture. Freshly grated sharp cheddar melts better and adds richer flavor.
• Don’t overmix: Stir just until the dough comes together. Overmixing activates gluten, which can make biscuits tough instead of tender.
• Chill before baking: After shaping, chill the biscuits for 10–15 minutes. This helps them hold their shape and improves rise.
• Brush with butter: A quick swipe of melted butter after baking adds shine and richness. For extra flavor, mix in a pinch of Old Bay or garlic powder.
• Bake on parchment: It prevents sticking and promotes even browning without over-crisping the bottoms.
