Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and lightly grease a cookie sheet.
- In a medium bowl, combine Bisquick mix, softened butter, and sugar until crumbly.
- Stir in milk until dough forms; beat with a spoon for 15 strokes.
- Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Make a shallow well in the center of each biscuit with the back of a spoon dipped in water.
- Fill each well with 1 teaspoon of fruit preserves.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- While warm, drizzle with glaze (optional).
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider replacing some of the milk with cream. If you're out of fruit preserves, you can use fresh fruit or even yogurt for a tangy twist. Mixing in spices like cinnamon or nutmeg can elevate the taste. Keep an eye on the biscuits while baking to avoid over-browning, similar to how you would when making Pioneer Picnic Cookies.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits make a delightful breakfast or snack. Serve them warm, drizzled with glaze, alongside fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream. They also pair beautifully with a cup of tea or coffee. For a fun twist, try serving them with a scoop of ice cream for dessert, similar to serving Opal'S Blackberry Cake.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, simply pop them in a toaster oven or microwave for a few seconds until warm, ensuring they stay soft and fluffy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour instead of Bisquick?
Using a different flour may alter the texture, but you can create a similar mix by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. For every cup of flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt to achieve a comparable result.
What fruits work best for the filling?
You can use a variety of fruit preserves, such as strawberry, raspberry, or peach. Fresh fruit like blueberries or diced apples also works well. Just ensure the fruit is not too watery, which could affect the biscuit's texture.
How can I make these biscuits healthier?
To make the biscuits healthier, consider using whole wheat Bisquick or a gluten-free alternative. You can also reduce the sugar or substitute it with honey or maple syrup. Adding oats or nuts can enhance the nutritional value while providing a satisfying crunch.
