Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups Bisquick or homemade baking mix substitute
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional: Substitute half Bisquick with whole wheat version use different cheeses such as Monterey Jack or Gruyère.

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a mini muffin pan generously with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine Bisquick, sugar, buttermilk, vanilla, and cheddar cheese. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Portion the Batter: Scoop batter into mini muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. You should get around 24 biscuits.
  4. Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Rotate pan halfway through for even browning.
  5. Cool & Serve: Let cool for 2–3 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a cooling rack. Serve warm with butter or honey.

Notes

For best texture, use freshly shredded cheese rather than pre-shredded varieties. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep biscuits light and fluffy. Perfect for pairing with soups, salads, or breakfast spreads!
