Baking Mix Biscuits
2 1/4 cups baking mix
2/3 cup water or milk
Mix lightly until dough forms a ball. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead 10-12 times. Roll dough about 1/2 inch thick. Cut with a 2-inch cutter or the rim of a glass dipped in flour. Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet. For drop biscuits, use 1 cup water and drop by tablespoonfuls onto a baking sheet. Makes one dozen.
*For cheese biscuits, add 1/4 cup cheddar cheese.

Tried this recipe today for the first time, and my biscuits are flat as pancakes!
Any suggestions or thoughts on what I’ve done wrong? Thanks…
Dee it is hard to say. Biscuits can be a little touching. If they are flat the biscuit mix may have lost it’s umph. Baking soda and baking powder can loss it’s power after a while.
You may have gotten too much liquid and next time add just a little more mix to make a firmer dough. These baking mix biscuits are quick and easy so if you want a fast biscuit these are good for that but I do like using the Mike’s biscuit or the Popeye’s biscuit recipe at the end of this article even better.
I’ve been making these biscuits, and instead of using regular milk, I use the buttermilk replacer(I don’t use enough buttermilk to warrant buying it fresh) to equal 2/3 cup milk. They taste a lot like Cracker Barrel biscuits.
