Instructions
1
Prep: Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking liner.
2
Make biscuits: Add the pancake mix (2 cups), 1 cup of cheese (reserve 1/3 cup for topping), milk (3/4 cup), butter (2 tablespoons, melted), garlic powder (1 teaspoon) and black pepper (1/2 teaspoon) to a medium mixing bowl. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to mix until the batter comes together. The batter should be sticky, a little shaggy and quite a bit thicker than pancake batter. Divide the bowl of batter into 12 equal piles of dough on your baking sheet using a spoon or scoop. Use your fingers to flatten the biscuits just slightly, then top with a little bit of remaining shredded cheddar cheese on each.
3
Bake: Bake biscuits for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges near the bottom are golden brown and the cheese on top is bubbling. The bottoms should be golden brown if you give them a peek. Let them cool for a few minutes, then enjoy warm!
4
Reheat: If I’m making a meal, I’ll stick room temperature premade biscuits into a warm appliance, if possible, for about 5 minutes. This includes the oven, toaster oven, and air fryer. Otherwise, to warm from room temperature, place in an oven or toaster oven and use the ‘Warm’ or “Low” setting for 5 minutes. To warm from frozen, wrap in foil and heat in an oven or toaster oven at 300F for 20 minutes, or until they’re warm and no longer frozen in the middle.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Cold Butter is Critical 🧈Keep your butter and milk ice-cold before mixing to prevent the pancake mix from activating prematurely, ensuring fluffy, tender biscuits with distinct layers.
- Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄Stir just until the dry ingredients are barely combined—overmixing develops gluten and creates tough, dense biscuits instead of light, airy ones.
- Shred Cheese Fresh for Better Texture 🧀Grate your cheddar cheese from a block rather than using pre-shredded to avoid anti-caking agents, which interferes with melting and creates clumpy spots.
- Make-Ahead Dough Freezing 🧊Scoop your batter into portions on a baking sheet, freeze for 2 hours, then transfer to a freezer bag—bake directly from frozen, adding just 2-3 minutes to baking time.
- Toast the Seasonings for Depth 🌶️Lightly bloom your garlic powder and black pepper in the melted butter before mixing to intensify their flavors and eliminate any raw, powdery taste.
