Buttered Pan Biscuits. Warm, homemade biscuits are so much easier than you thought. This easy biscuit recipe is made with just six ingredients.
We have a Saturday morning tradition. Big Daddy (aka W, Wes, Wesley or Sweet Cheeks) makes breakfast on Saturday morning. Usually, it’s biscuits, Chocolate Gravy (the boys call it ‘Mommie’s Gravy’ even though it’s not ‘my’ gravy at all but I guess they associate something sweet with me) or Brown Gravy, (You guessed it, they call Brown Gravy, Daddy’s gravy… which actually IS his gravy.) and sausage or bacon… maybe eggs.
Sometimes we have waffles, my favorite, but I’m always watching calories so I usually let them choose unless I’m having a craving.
Big Daddy is obsessed with biscuits. He insists I make better biscuits. I insist he just says that so that I’ll make the biscuits.
I got to wondering if I could make them in one large pan then cut them after they’re baked. Sound weird? We both hate cutting biscuits out and the clean up. Lincoln doesn’t like the ‘brown parts’.
I gave it a try. Big Daddy – thumbs up! Me – thumbs up! Lincoln (#1) – thumbs up! (who knew, right?!) Ryder (Curly)- two thumbs up! (he likes his breakfasts!)
Ingredients in Buttered Pan Biscuits
You probably already have every ingredient to make these biscuits.
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder – not baking soda
- Sugar – Optional. There is such a small amount, you may want to leave it out.
- Salt – Use more or less than suggested
- Buttermilk – Regular milk is not the same when baking.
- Butter – unsalted
How to make…
Basically, there are just two simple steps to mixing the biscuits
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together.
- Shake the buttermilk and measure. Add the buttermilk and mix until a wet, sticky dough is formed. Don’t overmix.
- Melt butter in an 8×8-inch baking dish and swirl it around to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Pour in the dough, and spread it evenly.
- Slice the dough into nine equal pieces and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- If needed, run a knife through the biscuits once more to cut through.
- Serve hot and enjoy!

These are delicious! I made them this morning for breakfast. My husband, who does not usually like biscuits, ate three and raved about them. I, who am always on a diet, ate two. The recipe is definitely a keeper! An added plus is that there is minimal cleanup.

This has become my go to recipe for pan biscuits. So hearty, and the crust is so crispy and perfect. Fairly quick and easy to make. Good for breakfast topped with gravy, good for dinner as a roll, good as a snack stuffed with ham and jarlsberg. They’re just so good!

Paula– I think I grew up with Yankee biscuits, although DH didn’t grow up with me lol.
We agree that these are good, have an amazing crust (how can I make just only acres of crust without frying tiny pancakes all day, please?), and are a nice part of a meal. But they just aren’t baking powder cut-out biscuits. Once we get over that they’re not “biscuits”, we find we enjoy them!
Next, we’ll find out how well they freeze. I made two pans…..
Paula says
Let me know how they freeze. I do enjoy that buttery crust.
Barb says
Can this recipe be doubled to make in 9×13 pan to serve more?
Paula says
Yes, it can.
mary whiteaker says
if you can make
biscuits this good how about a good chicken
dumpling reeipt I have tried for years and can never get them just right like my Mother did
Paula says
I keep meaning to put my Chicken n Dumplings recipe on here, but it’s not written down and I don’t know the measurements and I always forget to measure and write them down when I make it. I’ll put it on the list.

Just made these biscuits today… absolute perfection!!!Used a convection toaster oven and they cooked in 15 minutes!!! Will save me alot of time on Sunday a.m. versus old Pat and cut method!! AWESOME!!!!!
Patricia says
I love this recipe, however I have to now be gluten and milk free. Is there a pan recipe or gluten,milk free.
Thank you
Paula says
I don’t have one. I searched and found this, you can use almond milk for the buttermilk https://www.healthstartsinthekitchen.com/2017/12/15/southern-cast-iron-butter-drop-biscuits-gluten-free/
Also, these 2 sites have gluten-free recipes> https://cupcakesandkalechips.com/

Rachel Long says
I just made these biscuits and the whole family loved them. They are just like our favorites at a local restaurant. I didn’t use sugar because I don’t like sweet biscuits. I’ll definitely make these again!
Pamela Asbery says
Does the sugar offset the sour of the buttermilk, or is this a sweet biscuit?
Paula says
It’s not a sweet biscuit. It’s such a small amount of sugar you can leave it out without really noticing.
pam says
would these be good with strawberries and cream?
Paula says
Absolutely!!
Debbie says
The bottom on my biscuits did not brown. Is this normal? Loved how easy they were to make and the taste is awesome.
