Two Ingredients to Biscuit Bliss

That’s all! No long ingredient lists or complicated steps. Let’s break down how to transform these two simple items into a batch of mouthwatering biscuits.
Step-by-Step Guide to Perfect Pioneer Biscuits
The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. Pioneer Brand even makes the packaging user-friendly! Forget those flimsy boxes that create a mess; Pioneer Biscuit Mix comes in a handy canister.

Notice the smart canister design. Just remove the plastic lid, peel back the seal, and you have a convenient, pourable container. A reinforced plastic piece inside adds to its durability, making baking even easier.
Let’s get started with the mixing process:
1. Combine the Mix and Milk:
In a mixing bowl, pour in 3 cups of Pioneer Biscuit Mix and 1 cup of milk.

2. Stir to Moisten:
Gently stir the milk and biscuit mix together until just moistened. Avoid overmixing; a slightly shaggy dough is perfect.
3. Prepare Your Work Surface:
Lay out a sheet of waxed paper (or parchment paper). Lightly sprinkle it with a bit of extra Pioneer Biscuit Mix or flour. This prevents the dough from sticking.

4. Turn Out the Dough:
Pour the biscuit dough onto your prepared surface. Dust the top of the dough lightly with more biscuit mix or flour.

5. Knead Gently:
Here’s a crucial tip: knead the dough only 3-4 times. Over-kneading is the enemy of fluffy biscuits, leading to flat, tough results. Gently pat the dough down to flatten it slightly.
6. Fold and Pat:
Fold the dough in half and pat it out again. Repeat this folding and patting process two more times. This creates those lovely layers in your biscuits. If the dough is sticking, add a touch more biscuit mix or flour to your work surface.

7. Shape the Biscuits:
Pat the dough out to your desired thickness, about ½ to ¾ inch thick. You can use a rolling pin if you prefer, but patting works just as well.
8. Cut the Biscuits:
Now for the fun part – cutting the biscuits! You have two main options:
- Traditional Biscuit Cutter: Use a round biscuit cutter for classic, round biscuits.
- Pizza Cutter (Quick & Easy): For a faster method, use a pizza cutter to cut square biscuits. While square biscuits might feel unconventional to some, they minimize dough waste and are incredibly efficient.

9. Bake to Golden Perfection:
Place the cut biscuits on a greased baking sheet. For an extra golden top, lightly spray the tops of the biscuits with cooking spray, melted butter, or a brush of cooking oil (optional).
10. Bake:
Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F (232°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
11. Serve and Enjoy!
Let the biscuits cool slightly and prepare to be amazed at how effortlessly you created homemade goodness.
