Flavorful Cheesy Garlic Jalapeno Drop Biscuits made with homemade Bisquik are packed with shredded cheese, cilantro, fresh jalapeno and garlic and are a perfect accompaniment to soups.
I like to use my homemade Bisquik mix for these but you could always use store-bought Bisquik mix. They work just the same. This is an adaptation of the Bisquik recipe for cheese-garlic biscuits.
When adding fresh ingredients, like the jalapeno and garlic, to any kind of dough I toss them in with the dry ingredients. This helps minimize the amount of mixing I’m doing so I don’t end up with tough baked goods. Also, adding them to the dry mixture prevents the fresh ingredients from sinking all to the bottom!
What are drop biscuits?
Drop biscuits are the simpler cousin to rolled biscuits. You have the exact same mix to start out with but you add a bit more milk to the mix. This results in a slightly wetter mix which makes it easier to spoon and drop onto a baking sheet.
Other flavors to try:
If you are not a huge fan of jalapeno and garlic, you could make the drop biscuits with cheddar and paprika, or use just the garlic or the jalapeno. If cilantro is not your thing, trade that out for fresh parsley.
Can you freeze drop biscuits?
I like to make a double or triple batch and freeze them after they are cooked. I just reheat in the microwave for at least 45 seconds (the more on a plate the longer it takes) and wallah- hot biscuits without heating up the house.
Tricky I know. Enjoy!
I also choose to use a mini cookie scoop instead of a spoon to portion out the biscuits. I’ve found a cookie scoop helps me to get even scoops so all the biscuits bake evenly.
Other uses for Bisquik mix:

These are absolutely delicious!! Every ingredient pleases the palate. Leftovers can be frozen. Jalapeño can be omitted if that’s you choice.
These are just so cute…and a perfect excuse to break out the Bisquick!!!
Love drop biscuits and also that you used your own bisquik mixture.
Thank you Sid. Making your own bisquik mix is so easy so why not?
I love this easy to make savory biscuit- and the option to make from scratch Bisquick!
With all the desserts floating around this time of year we could also use a little extra savory.
I love savory cheesy biscuits. These sound divine.
Thanks Karen!
These look yummy and I really like your variations as well as the freezing tip. Thanks!
Thanks Kelley!
All of my favorite flavors. YUM . And I’m happy to have the homemade Bisquick mix recipe as well.
Seriously, you can’t go wrong with cheese, garlic, and jalapeno.
