Bisquick Biscuits




Source of Recipe


Old 1933 Recipe Book
Rolled Bisquicks
2 cups Bisquick
3/4 cup milk (or 2/3 cup water)

Stir milk into Bisquick. Beat dough hard for 30 seconds to make it tighten up enough to handle. Turn dough on well-floured, cloth covered board. Pat, round it up and fold over 3 times.

Roll out lightly with rolling pin, 1/2 to 1 inch thick, depending on how thick you want the biscuits. Cut with biscuit cutters. For biscuits with crusty sides, place a little apart on a baking sheet. For biscuits with soft sides, place close together. Bake quickly in a very hot oven, 475 F., 10 to 12 minutes.
This makes 18 biscuits cut with 1 3/4 inch cutter from 1/2 inch thick dough.

Dropped Bisquicks
Stir 1 cup milk or 7/8 cup water into 2 cups Bisquick. Mix well by beating dough for 30 seconds. Drop by spoonfuls on lightly greased baking sheet or into muffin pans.

Butter Cakes
Use Dropped Bisquick recipe and drop by small spoonfuls on a generously buttered griddle. Bake slowly until golden brown on bottom. Turn and bake until other side is golden brown and they are well done through - about 15 or 20 minutes.

Bran Bisquicks

Wheaties Bisquicks
Add 1 cup or 2 cups Wheaties, depending on amount of Wheaties desired, to 2 cups Bisquick. Proceed as for Bisquicks. Use a little more milk (1 cup instead of 3/4 cup) when adding the 2 cups Wheaties.

Hot Pimento Bisquicks

Philadelphia Tea Cakes
Cut half the Bisquicks with round cutter; and the other half with a ring (donut cutter). Brush tops of plain rounds with beaten egg and milk; place doughnut shaped circles on top of plain rounds; sprinkle tops with confectioner's sugar and bake. Remove from baking sheet and put a teaspoon of jelly or jam in the center hole.

Tomato Cheese Bisquicks
Add 4 tablespoons grated cheese to 2 cups Bisquick and follow recipe for Bisquicks, using 2/3 cup tomato juice for liquid in place of milk or water.

Cheese Rollemups
2 cups of Bisquick
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup softened pimento cheese
3 tblsp. butter

Make Bisquick dough according to directions for Rolled Bisquicks. Roll dough into a very long narrow oblong shape about 1/4 inch thick. Soften an easy spreading pimento cheese by blending in the butter and a little milk. (Or use 1 pkg. white cream cheese and blend with butter and 3 tblsp. chopped pimentos.) Spread on Bisquick dough. Roll up as for Jelly Roll. (Be sure the roll is narrow) Place on baking sheet, and with a sharp knife slice 1/3 of the way through the roll every inch, to mark the slices. Bake 20 minutes in a hot oven 450 F. This makes 10 to 12 servings.
