How To Make Pancake Mix Biscuits
Ingredients needed
- Pancake mix (buy a complete mix)
- Milk
- Butter
Quick tips before baking
- The same rules apply to this recipe as any other biscuit recipe. Do not over-mix the dough! You bring the dough to the point where it’s just combined then you stop and cut out the biscuits.
- You can mash in the butter with the flour but I find grating slightly frozen butter makes the recipe super easy. Simply place the butter in the freezer for 10 minutes then grate into the pancake mix and make the biscuits.
- Pay attention to how to cut the biscuits. I’d recommend a biscuit cutter or a drinking glass works wonders but press and do not twist. You also don’t want them super thick because there is plenty of leavening agent in pancake mix and they are going to rise.
Making the pancake mix biscuits recipe
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- In a large bowl, add the pancake mix. Then, grate the butter into the pancake mix then simply toss the pancake mix and the butter then is no need for smashing. However, you can add pieces of cold butter and use a pastry cutter to bring everything together.
- Now, add in the milk, stir and bring the dough together. Then, lightly flour a surface and place the dough down. Flatten the dough with a floured rolling pin or by hand until it’s about 1-1.5 inches thick. Cut out the biscuits with a biscuit or circle cookie cutter.
- Place the biscuits on a lined sheet pan and bake 10-12 minutes depending on your personal oven. Biscuits are done when they have risen and are golden brown. Brush with butter when you pull them from the oven. Serve biscuits after they cooled for 5 minutes and enjoy.
