Even if you have never baked before, I promise this easy buttered biscuit recipe will be a hit. All you need is two cups of Bisquick, a stick of butter, and a cup of sour cream. Seriously, that’s it!

What my mom taught me, and I do this to this day, was to use a mini muffin pan instead of a regular muffin pan. This makes delicious bite-sized biscuits. Of course, you can use a regular one if you don’t have the mini pan, but I highly recommend the mini if you can.

Recipe Ingredients

Biscuit mix. Use your favorite boxed biscuit or baking mix brand. We use Bisquick to make classic buttered biscuits.

Butter. Unsalted is best for baking. Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Sour cream. The secret for melt-in-your-mouth tender biscuits. You can sub with greek yogurt, but the flavor will be a bit more tangy.

Recipe ingredients Glass bowl with flour, container of sour cream, and white dish with melted butter.

How to Make Buttered Biscuits

Preheat oven to 425. Spray muffin tins with cooking spray.
Blend butter and sour cream into biscuit mix. Spoon into muffin tins to 2/3 full.

Done buttered rolls dough in two mini muffin pans.

Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Cool for a few minutes in the pan before moving to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Try these out for an easy breakfast one day or as a side for some soup or stew. So delicious and super easy!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you make gluten-free buttered biscuits?

Easy! Use your preferred gluten-free boxed mix, like GF Bisquick.

Why are my Bisquick biscuits dry?

Be sure to use the proper amount of butter and sour cream. Ample fat is necessary to get moist and tender biscuits. Also, remove them from the oven as soon as they start to brown. They will dry out if left in the oven for too long.

What to serve with biscuits?

Breakfast, lunch, or dinner – homemade biscuits are always welcome on the table! Serve with fluffy eggs and fruit, a bowl of warm soup, or alongside a refreshing salad for a lighter daytime meal.

They don’t *need* any jellies or jams, but you can certainly serve with any condiments you like.

The biscuits are great to enjoy with saucy dinner dishes like stews, chowders, and mains with gravy. Yum!

How long do homemade biscuits last?

They’ll keep well for a few days on the counter in an airtight container. For longer storage we suggest freezing. Wrap each biscuit individually in plastic wrap, then place together in a large zipper bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Note from Pennie

“The base for this recipe comes from one I found many years ago in a community cookbook that was a gift from my good friend Tracy, and it’s been a family favorite ever since. These are not as good re-heated, but don’t worry too much about leftovers!”
