1

Heat oven to 450ºF.
2

Cut firm butter into 1/4-inch pieces. Toss Bisquick™ mix and butter pieces with fork until coated. Add milk; stir just until milk is absorbed (do not overstir).
3

Turn dough onto surface dusted with Bisquick™ mix. Knead 5 times. Pat to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with 3-inch cutter. Place on ungreased baking sheet with sides touching for soft sides or 2 inches apart for crispy sides.
4

Bake about 9 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter.

Success For tender biscuits, knead only five times. That's just enough to make the dough smooth and well coated so it's no longer sticky.
Variation Don't like to knead dough? Make drop biscuits by decreasing the Bisquick™ mix to 2 1/4 cups and skipping the kneading step. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto the bakingcookie sheet, and bake for about 10 minutes. You'll get 10 drop biscuits.
