So, here’s my secret recipe for making delicious biscuits from pancake mix.

How do you make biscuits from pancake mix?

To make delicious biscuits from pancake mix, simply mix the pancake mix(you can use any of the major pancake mix brands) and some buttermilk in a bowl.
Once a dough has formed, cut the biscuit mix into biscuit shapes using a round cookie cutter or a cup and bake in a pre-heated oven at 400 degrees F for 10-12 minutes. Your biscuits are ready to enjoy either on their own or with your favorite toppings.

Ideas to add/change in the pancake mix biscuits recipe:

This recipe makes a great starting point for basic biscuits but you can spice it up and make them even better by adding extra ingredients to the mix. Here are some great ways to add a twist to your biscuits:

• If you want your biscuits to be extra fluffy, add an extra egg to the batter.
• Add some shredded cheddar cheese to the dough before baking for cheesy, delicious cheddar biscuits.
• Add some minced garlic, onion powder, and fresh herbs for a savory flavor-packed garlic bread biscuit.
• For a sweet treat, add a little sugar and cinnamon to the batter. You can also top your baked biscuits with a little honey or agave syrup.
• Add some peanut butter and jam to your ready-made biscuits to create yummy breakfast sandwiches.

Biscuits From Pancake Mix Recipe

What you’ll need (makes 4 servings):

Cookie sheet / Sheet Pan

• 2 cups of pancake mix
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/3 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. (200 C) Prepare your sheet pan with baking paper or with a light spray of oil (I use canola oil)
• In a large bowl, mix together the pancake mix and buttermilk until you have a soft, sticky dough.

• Transfer dough to your kitchen top work surface and lightly knead for a minute or two.
• Roll out the dough till it’s at about 1/2 an inch thickness.

• Use a biscuit cutter or a round cup to cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Add the batch of biscuits to your preheated oven and bake them for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. As soon you take them out of the oven, brush the tops with melted butter.
• Your sweet, fluffy pancake biscuits are now ready! Enjoy it with some honey or jam, or just on its own! I personally like to drizzle some maple syrup on top. Yum!

Note: These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but you can also store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. If you want to reheat them, simply pop them in the oven or microwave for a few seconds until warm.
