Preparation

Preheat oven to 450 °F (230 °C).

For Herb and Garlic Biscuits, sauté garlic in butter.

For all variations, in a large bowl combine Bisquick*, 1 cup (250 mL) milk and your choice of ingredients. Continue stirring until dough comes together to form a ball.

On a floured surface, knead the ball a few times. Roll out dough to 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick.

Cut out 3 inch (7.5 cm) rounds with a biscuit cutter or the rim of a large glass. Brush with remaining milk.

Bake on an unbuttered cookie sheet for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly golden.
