You ever have one of those nights when you have no idea what you are going to make for dinner. You look in the pantry and hope for a miracle? We call that "Miracle Dinner" - it'll be a miracle if there is dinner. Well Rebecca was having one of those nights. She finally settled on breakfast dinner - a favorite of the kids. She was feeling especially proud of herself because she had everything to make homemade biscuits - AGGHHH!!! - everything except flour!
Maybe pancake mix would work? Apparently other people have been in this same situation because there were several recipes online. She decided to try this one. They turned out so well we wanted to share them with you!
We made small biscuits and were able to make 18.
The Recipe
- 2 1/2 - 3 cups of complete pancake mix (the recipe called for 2 1/2 cups of mix, but we found we needed 3 cups)
- 1/3 cup of water
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 egg
Preheat oven to 425°. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl with a spoon.
Roll out dough on a floured (or in our case pancake mixed) counter. Cut out circles of dough with a floured glass or biscuit cutter.
Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the tops are golden.
Dinner turned out great. The boys loved the biscuits! Jonah said he would give them 4 thumbs up! You know they're good when Jonah has to use his toe thumbs!
I am sooooooooo trying this !!!!

well mine turned out not for human consumption!
ReplyDeleteMine turned out great, and since then I have been adding things to them, garlic cheese biscuits, ham and cheese, cinnamon raison, blueberries, you can put almost anything in them, just in small pieces so they still cook properly.
