Pepperoni Garlic Drop Biscuits

My go to recipe for biscuits is our Drop Biscuits. If we want something a little different or with some extra flavor, I made these Pepperoni Garlic Drop Biscuits. They are perfect with spaghetti. My girls can't get enough of them.




Pepperoni Garlic Drop Biscuits

2 1/4 cup Bisquick baking mix
2/3 cup soy milk
Pepperoni to taste (I use about 30 slices cut into fourths)
Garlic powder or garlic salt to taste (I use 1 tbsp garlic salt)

Thoroughly combine all of the ingredients. Drop by spoonful onto a foil lined baking sheet. Bake at 450 for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
*  The biscuits pretty much retain the shape they are placed it. If you want prettier biscuits like the midde and bottom pictures, smooth out the biscuit mounds first before baking.
*  This recipe makes about 13 biscuits, depending on the size you make them. However, you can easily double or triple this recipe.
*  If you want more of a garlic flavor, you can brush the hot biscuits with melted dairy free margarine mixed with garlic salt or garlic powder.
