I like these because they are so quick and easy. Even though you use Bisquick, they don't come out tasting like Bisquick or like baking powder. I always have to double the batch to make sure I get some!

10 biscuits (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 450.
  2. 2
    Mix the Bisquick, buttermilk and sugar together in a bowl.
  3. 3
    Add the melted butter into the batter.
  4. 4
    Stir until a soft dough forms.
  5. 5
    Turn out onto a well floured work surface.
  6. 6
    Knead 20 times (this is a very forgiving dough), and don't be afraid to get additional flour into the dough.
  7. 7
    Roll 1/2 thick, or thicker if you prefer towering biscuits.
  8. 8
    Place close together on an ungreased baking sheet.
  9. 9
    Brush tops with melted butter.
  10. 10
    Bake for 8 to 10 minutes; I usually find 8 minutes is enough.
  11. 11
    When you remove the biscuits from the oven, brush the tops with melted butter again.

These are awesome! I made "Bisquick" as I try not to buy things I can make myself. There is one left from dinner and I intend to get it!! Thank you Kay for sharing this great little recipe!

    These are good biscuits. But I have been trying for years to replicate cracker barrel's biscuits, and these are definitely not like cracker barrel's. Nothing I have found comes close to the lightness and fluffiness of cracker barrel's.

    I can't believe I am the first to make and review this recipe. These biscuits are soooooooo good! Perfect in every way! The rise high, the are soft and tender and the flavor is amazing. They don't have a Bisquick flavor at all and they do taste like Cracker Barrell's yummy biscuits! I topped mine with apple jelly and another one with honey. Delicious!

    In 30 years of hard core baking, this is without question the most exquisitely delicious biscuit recipe ever. I brushed mine with melted butter and honey. Good grief. Bury me in these biscuits.
