Quick and Easy Butter Biscuits Recipe

Challenge yourself to say "butter biscuits" five times quickly, but don't worry if you can't because you'll be too busy enjoying these soft, flaky delights! With just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, you can whip up a batch of mouthwatering butter biscuits that are perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

• 1 and 1/3 cups of shortening or butter
• 2 1/2 cups Bisquick® Original mix
• 2/3 cup of milk
• Additional melted butter or margarine for brushing

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
2. Prepare Dough: Cut the butter into 1/4-inch pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick® mix with the butter pieces. Use a fork to blend until crumbly. Stir in the milk until just absorbed, being careful not to overmix.
3. Knead and Shape: Turn the dough out onto a surface dusted with Bisquick® mix. Knead the dough five times. Roll the dough out to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out biscuits. Place them on an ungreased baking sheet, with edges touching for softer biscuits or spaced 2 inches apart for crispier edges.
4. Bake: Bake for 9 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Brush with Butter: While still warm, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.

Tips:

• Limit kneading to five times for softer biscuits. This is sufficient to smooth and shape the dough without making it sticky.
• For easier preparation, reduce the Bisquick® mix to 2 1/4 cups and skip the kneading step. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes to yield ten biscuits.
