How to Make Homemade Biscuits with Homemade Biscuit Mix
- Lightly spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray, and preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Start by combining 1 1/2 cups of homemade biscuit mix and 1/2 cup of milk* in a large mixing bowl.
- Once a soft, sticky dough has started to form, knead the mixture by hand until everything is well combined.
- Once everything is mixed together well, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface, and use a rolling pin to roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Cut your biscuits out with a round biscuit cutter or glass cup, and place each biscuit onto the baking sheet that you already greased up.
- Bake at 400ºF for 7-9 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Serve and enjoy your homemade biscuits lathered in butter with your favorite jam or jelly!
Notes
*Although I prefer whole milk, you can use skim milk, 2% milk, whole milk, or whichever you have on hand.

Yes, you can freeze homemade biscuit mix. Simply place your biscuit mix into an airtight container or freezer bag, and into the freezer for up to 8 months!
