Bob's Red Mill Buttermilk Biscuit Mix
What it is
This is a convenient baking mix designed to help you create delicious buttermilk biscuits with ease. It combines flour, leavening agents, and dried buttermilk powder, so you just need to add a few wet ingredients to bring it all together. The mix is formulated for a tender crumb and a slightly tangy flavor characteristic of traditional buttermilk biscuits. It simplifies the baking process, making it accessible for home cooks of all skill levels.
How people cook with it
This mix is perfect for quick breakfasts, brunch, or as a side dish for any meal. It's a versatile base for many biscuit-based creations.
- Quick breakfast biscuits
- Savory breakfast sandwiches
- Side for stews and soups
- Base for biscuit pot pie
To prepare, simply combine the contents of the package with cold butter or shortening, cutting it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Then, stir in cold milk or buttermilk until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, pat it gently, and cut out your biscuits. Bake in a hot oven until golden brown and puffed. The key is to handle the dough minimally for the best texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike making biscuits from scratch, this mix pre-measures the dry components, including the leavening and dried buttermilk. This eliminates the need to stock individual ingredients like baking powder and buttermilk powder, streamlining the process and ensuring consistent results without requiring precise measurements of each dry element.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This helps maintain the freshness of the ingredients and prevents moisture absorption, ensuring your next batch of biscuits turns out just as well as the first.
