Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Spray a baking sheet with no-fat spray.
- Combine Pioneer no-fat biscuit mix and milk in a bowl.

- Cut into biscuits and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure that your skim milk is at room temperature before mixing it with the biscuit mix, as this helps to create a softer dough. If you don’t have Pioneer no-fat biscuit mix, you can substitute with an equal amount of a different fat-free biscuit mix. Experimenting with added herbs or spices can enhance the flavor, especially if you enjoy American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are perfect for breakfast or as a side with soups and stews. They pair beautifully with scrambled eggs or can be served alongside a bowl of gravy for a heartier meal. For a delightful dessert, consider enjoying them with a spread of fruit preserves or alongside slices of Banana Coffee Cake.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warm and slightly crisp. This method helps retain their texture, making them just as delightful as when freshly baked.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk?
Yes, you can use almond milk or oat milk as a dairy-free alternative. Just ensure that the milk is unsweetened to maintain the intended flavor of the biscuits. This allows for flexibility in dietary preferences while keeping the recipe's integrity.
How can I make these biscuits sweeter?
To add sweetness, consider incorporating a tablespoon of sugar or a sugar substitute into the dry mix before combining with milk. You can also serve the biscuits with honey or a drizzle of maple syrup for a naturally sweet touch.
Can I freeze these biscuits?
Absolutely! You can freeze the baked biscuits for up to a month. To do this, let them cool completely, then wrap each biscuit individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. When ready to enjoy, thaw at room temperature and reheat as needed.
