    The Best Copycat McDonald's Biscuits Recipe

    McDonalds is known for so many things, but I think their biscuits are one of the best offerings on the menu. They're soft, perfectly chewy, and have a buttermilk flavor that is just to die for! 

    Plus, they are super easy to make! So if you need a quick breakfast, snack, or even side with dinner, these McDonalds biscuits come in clutch.

    Honestly, this might be the best copycat McDonalds recipe out there. Well, next to our homemade McGriddle recipe, Egg McMuffin recipe, and breakfast burrito recipe of course. So if you haven't tried those yet, you'll definitely want to ASAP!

    And if you want a complete breakfast, serve these biscuits along with this breakfast sausage and cheesy hash brown casserole. For dinner, they go great with this chicken and shrimp alfredo. The options are truly endless!

    Five McDonald's biscuits stacked on top of one another on a piece of parchment paper.

    Ingredients

    • Margarine- you can also use melted butter.
    • Bisquick baking mix- or your favorite baking mix. I love using Bisquick.
    • Granulated sugar- for a touch of sweetness to compliment the buttermilk flavor.
    • Salt
    • Buttermilk- for the best buttermilk biscuits flavor.

    Now, my favorite part about these McDonalds biscuits is that you can customize them however you want. They go great with some jam, honey, nut butter, or just some butter on top. Honestly, they're so delicious that you don't even need to put anything on them!

    But, if you do want to eat them with breakfast, my go-to is making some eggs and this air fryer turkey bacon to go with the biscuits.

    How To Make McDonald's Biscuits

    McDonald's biscuit dough in a mixing bowl with a wooden spoons emerged in it.

    Step 1: Making The Biscuit Dough

    First things first, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Now, take out a large bowl, and add the margarine, Bisquick baking mix, granulated sugar, salt, and buttermilk. Then, mix everything until the ingredients are well combined and a dry dough forms. If it's too crumbly, just add a bit of flour to it. 

    Next, sprinkle flour on a flat surface and put the dough on the floured surface. Then, use a rolling pin to roll the dough until it is about ½ inch thick. You can roll them out less if you want to make thick biscuits.

    Step 2: Baking The Biscuits

    Once the dough is rolled out, use a circular cutter to cut out 6 biscuits. Then, put each biscuit on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake them for about 15 minutes or until golden. Serve the biscuits with melted butter on top, or enjoy however you want!

    How To Store Leftover Biscuits

    You can store them at room temperature for about 2 days and in the fridge for up to a week. To store, wrap the biscuits individually in plastic wrap and then transfer them to an airtight container or sealable bag. If you want to keep them longer, store them in a freezer-safe bag and freeze them for up to 3 months.

    Then, if you want to reheat the biscuits, you can either use the oven, microwave, toaster oven, or even on the stovetop! I like to put them in the toaster for a few minutes to give them a slightly crispy texture.
