  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 8 biscuits 1x

Description

Make soft, fluffy biscuits using pancake mix instead of biscuit mix. This quick recipe is perfect for breakfast or a savory side dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups pancake mix
  • 2/3 cup milk (or buttermilk for a richer flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for brushing)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional, for balance)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large bowl, mix the pancake mix, milk, melted butter, and salt until just combined. Don’t overmix.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness.
  • Cut out biscuits using a cutter or glass.
  • Place biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden on top.
  • Brush with melted butter while warm for extra flavor.

Notes

  • For flakier biscuits, add 2 tablespoons of cold butter and cut it into the dry mix before adding liquid.
  • For savory biscuits, add shredded cheddar and garlic powder.
  • For sweet biscuits, mix in a teaspoon of sugar and a dash of vanilla.
