How to make garlic bread biscuits
This is a quick overview of how to make this Bisquick garlic biscuits recipe. Scroll down for the full recipe instructions and ingredient amounts in the recipe card below.
- Step 1: Preheat the oven. Combine the Bisquick mix, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Add the butter and, using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut the butter until the mixture has crumbs the size of peas.

Hint: Using a scooper to drop the dough onto your baking sheet will ensure even sized biscuits that bake at the same rate.
Expert recipe tips
