Cheese Bread Recipe Using Pancake Mix

Make drop biscuits without flour! No rolling or cutting, and made with just 5 ingredients. These Pancake Mix Cheddar Drop Biscuits are easy, cheesy, and the perfect make-ahead compliment to any meal!

A drop biscuit is a biscuit where the batter is dropped onto the baking sheet with a spoon or scoop. Traditional biscuits are rolled out and cut with a circular cutter instead.

While there is for sure nothing wrong with traditional biscuits, this is what I like to call a ‘short cut’. No rolling, no cutting, no flour on the counter, no flour at all actually! Totally non-traditional, totally easy & delicious.

Flourless Cottage Cheese Bread (5 Ingredients)

There are only 5 main ingredients + pepper in these biscuits (I don’t count salt, pepper or basic oil when totalling ingredients). Here they are:

First, prep the scene by preheating the oven to 375F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. These biscuits WILL stick if you put them directly on a sheet pan without a liner.

The coolest thing about this biscuit recipe is that you can put everything into the bowl (except save about 1/3 cup cheddar for topping!) and mix it up. You don’t have to roll the dough or cut out biscuit shapes.

Ham And Cheese Pancake Bread Pudding

The batter should be thick, sticky, and shaggy. It should NOT resemble pancake batter – it should be quite a bit thicker.

Divide the bowl of batter into 12 equal piles on your baking sheet. Use your fingers to flatten the biscuit just slightly, then top with a little bit of shredded cheddar cheese on each.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges near the bottom are golden brown and the cheese on top is is bubbling. The bottoms should be completely golden brown if you give them a peek.

Ham & Cheese Pancake Rolls

Yes! You definitely can. If you’re out of flour and you have any ‘just add water’ pancake mix sitting around, you can give it a try.

It is for this reason that I keep pancake mix on hand for ’emergencies’. Cookie emergencies. Muffin emergencies. Biscuit emergencies. You get it.

‘Just add water’ pancake mix works in place of flour because the mix will have its own flour and its own leavening agent. Double check that ‘leavener’ is an ingredient in your pancake mix if you are concerned.

Traditional biscuits also have a hint of sugar. This pancake mix also has a hint of sugar, which works for these biscuits.The brand of pancake mix I used has only 2 grams of added sugars, and that’s definitely enough for biscuits!

In my kitchen, I regularly use Kodiak Cakes Flapjack and Waffle Mix for pancakes, cookies, muffins and now biscuits. For this recipe specifically, I have not tested any other kind of ‘just add water’ pancake mix.

However, back when I was first testing Pancake Mix Cookies, I tested three varieties of pancake mix and they all worked great: Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix, Trader Joe’s Buttermilk Protein Pancake Mix, and Kodiak Cakes Buttermilk Pancake Mix. I’m also positive that Bisquik would work here, but that’s not something I normally purchase.

Homemade Pancake Mix

These biscuits can be stored in the freezer in a sealed container for up to 6 months. Wait until they are completely cool before freezing.

These biscuits can been eaten at room temperature, or they can be heated up. To warm from room temperature, place in an oven or toaster oven and use the ‘Warm’ or “Low” setting for 5 minutes. To warm from frozen, wrap in foil and heat in an oven or toaster oven at 300F for 20 minutes, or until they’re warm and no longer frozen in the middle.

I used Kodiak Cakes Flapjack & Waffle Mix, but any ‘just add water’ pancake mix that includes leavener (baking soda) should work. Nutrition information estimated with My Fitness Pal.
