Alright, alright, let’s talk about makin’ biscuits outta that pancake stuff, ya know, the Krusteaz stuff. Can ya do it? Well, I’m here to tell ya, you kinda can, but it ain’t gonna be like your grandma’s biscuits, bless her heart.
Now, some folks, they like makin’ things from scratch, all fancy-like. But me? I ain’t got time for that mess. If I can take a shortcut, I’m gonna take it. So, this Krusteaz pancake mix, it’s like a cheat code, see? You already got flour and stuff mixed in there, saves you a whole lotta trouble.
So, the big question is, can you really make biscuits with pancake mix? And the answer, well, it’s a kinda sorta yes. It ain’t perfect, mind you, but it’ll do in a pinch. Think of it like usin’ a wrench when you need a hammer. It might work, but it ain’t the right tool, ya feel me?

Here’s the deal, that pancake mix, it’s got sugar in it. Biscuits ain’t supposed to be sweet, not really. But hey, sometimes a little sweetness ain’t so bad, right? It’s like addin’ a little honey to your cornbread, just a little somethin’ extra. So, if you don’t mind a slightly sweet biscuit, then you’re good to go.
- First off, you gotta get yourself some of that Krusteaz pancake mix. The big box, the small box, it don’t really matter. Just make sure it ain’t expired, ’cause that’s just nasty.
- Then you need some milk, the regular kind, not that fancy almond stuff. And some butter, real butter, not that margarine stuff. Margarine is just… well, I don’t even know what it is.
- Oh, and cheese! Gotta have cheese. Cheddar, Colby, whatever you got in the fridge. Cheese makes everything better, that’s just a fact. Save a little bit for the top, so it gets all melty and bubbly.
Now, how much of each thing? Well, that’s where it gets tricky. I ain’t got no fancy recipe, I just eyeball it. But I guess you could say, somethin’ like this: pour a bunch of that pancake mix in a bowl, then add some milk, not too much, just enough to make it kinda doughy. Then throw in some butter, cut it up into little pieces, and a good handful of cheese. Mix it all up, but don’t over mix it, just enough to bring everything together.
Then you gotta get your hands dirty. Plop that dough onto a floured surface, and pat it out. Don’t go rollin’ it all thin and fancy, just pat it out till it’s about an inch thick, maybe a little less. Then cut it into biscuits, however you want. You can use a biscuit cutter, if you got one, or a glass, or a knife, or just tear it off into pieces, I ain’t gonna judge ya.
Put them biscuits on a bakin’ sheet, and sprinkle that leftover cheese on top. Bake ’em in the oven at, I don’t know, 375 or somethin’? Just keep an eye on ’em, till they’re golden brown and puffy. It usually takes, I don’t know, maybe 15-20 minutes?
Now, these ain’t gonna be like those fluffy, flaky biscuits you get at the restaurant. They’re gonna be a little denser, a little sweeter, but they’ll still be good, especially with some butter and maybe some jam. And if you ain’t got no Krusteaz, you can probably use that Jiffy stuff too, it’s all the same to me.
And listen, if you’re one of them people who thinks biscuits gotta be made from scratch, well, good for you. You go ahead and do your thing. But me, I’m all about makin’ do with what I got. And sometimes, what I got is a box of pancake mix and a hankerin’ for biscuits. And you know what? That’s good enough for me.
So, there you have it. Can you make biscuits with Krusteaz pancake mix? Yep, you sure can. Will they be the best biscuits you ever had? Maybe not. But they’ll be biscuits, and sometimes, that’s all that matters. And if anyone gives you any grief about it, just tell ‘em to mind their own beeswax. They ain’t the ones eatin’ them biscuits, are they?
One last thing, if you want to make them more like “real” biscuits, you can add a bit of baking powder and salt. Just a pinch of this and a pinch of that, you know? That’s what I do sometimes, when I’m feeling fancy.
