Deliciously soft and fluffy angel buns with a hint of sweetness, perfect for breakfast or a snack. Easy to make with Bisquick and yeast for a homemade touch.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a medium mixing bowl.
- Mix in the Bisquick and milk until dough forms.
- Smooth the dough into a ball on a breadboard dusted with baking mix.
- Knead the dough at least 10 times.
- Roll the dough to 1/2-inch thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter dipped in baking mix.
- Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size. Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Bake for 6 to 8 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or garlic powder to the dough. If you don’t have Bisquick, you can make a homemade baking mix using flour, baking powder, and salt. For a sweeter version, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the dough. Ensure the water for the yeast is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
Serving Suggestions
These angel buns are delightful served warm with butter or honey. Pair them with savory dishes like Twice-Baked Parmesan-Chive Potatoes for a comforting meal. They also complement breakfast spreads alongside jam or cream cheese, making them versatile for any time of day.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover angel buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze the baked buns in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag. To reheat, warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use active dry yeast instead of quick acting dry yeast?
Yes, you can use active dry yeast, but you'll need to activate it in warm water with sugar for about 5-10 minutes before mixing it into the dough. This helps ensure that the yeast is alive and ready to work.
Can I add ingredients like cheese or herbs to the dough?
Absolutely! You can fold in shredded cheese or chopped herbs into the dough before rolling it out. This adds flavor and makes the buns even more delicious. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite mix.
What can I serve with angel buns?
Angel buns pair wonderfully with soups and salads. Consider serving them alongside a fresh garden salad or a warm bowl of chili. They also complement breakfast dishes like scrambled eggs or can be enjoyed with a side of Pink Salad Delight for a refreshing contrast.
