Nothing completes a comfort food meal, like fresh dinner rolls or fresh flakey biscuits. But what if you don't have that kind of time?
I was recently reminded of an incredibly simple recipe that I first made many years ago. Unless I miss my guess, I first saw it on the side of a baking powder container.
The idea was to have a stir and bake recipe, that could be used to serve along with things like hearty soups and stews.
It sort of also reminded me of what some parts of Newfoundland know as a "pastry" or "crust. That recipe is simple mixture of flour, baking powder, butter and milk to form a loose dough.
Then, it was baked, draped over a roast or in a pan to serve with the dinner and gravy. For some, a roast dinner is just not complete without it.
Biscuit Muffin Bread. A "fill you up" recipe.
Those sorts of recipes, like a Figgy Duff, were undoubtedly used as economical ways to "fill you up" and stretch a meal even further.
For me though, they are now part of any good comfort food meal. Instead of being used as a budget stretcher, nowadays they are seen as something to make a meal extra special and more homey.
This recipe fits that bill perfectly and with the most minimal time and effort.
The recipe also reminds me of southern cornbread, another uncomplicated but homey addition to many meals like our Braised Beef Chili. Come to think it, this biscuit muffin bread would be great with that chili too.
Biscuit Muffin Bread at breakfast or brunch.
These can also be made as quick, plain muffins, served warm on a weekend morning with butter your favourite jam. You may want to add a couple more tablespoons of sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla extract if using them for this purpose.
Totally simple, but totally delicious and comforting. Well worth trying.

Biscuit Muffin Bread. Ready in 30 minutes!
Biscuit Muffin Bread. Ready in 30 minutes! An incredibly quick, easy, versatile, 6 ingredient recipe, that can take the place of bread rolls or biscuits at dinner or muffins for brunch.
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 3 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon sugar (optional) (See notes below)
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 2 cups milk
Instructions
- Grease a 12 muffin pan well and preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl to combine well.
- Quickly whisk in the milk and melted butter until well combined. This mixes very quickly but don't over mix. A few lumps in the batter is fine and does not harm the recipe at all.
- Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- Depending on your oven, these may not brown that much on top but that's fine too. As long as they pass the toothpick test, take them out. Better to have pale tops than be over baked.
- Cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
When serving at breakfast or brunch you may want to increase the sugar by a couple of tablespoons and add a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract with the butter and milk.

Hi Barry! I'm excited to make these to go along stew for tonight's dinner. If I want them for a savory dish do I even add any sugar? I wasn't sure as it says optional but the notes say to add more sugar for a breakfast style?
They sure look delicious!
For savoury purposes you need not add any, but I think I'd add even just a couple of teaspoonfuls anyway. You can decide then for next time if you want to add it or not. It's really your choice.
I have made these now multiple times and my husband and kids just gobble them up!!! I ended up not adding any sugar and they were fantastic as is. I was thinking of making a cinnamon sugar version for a sweet tea biscuit. These are DELICIOUS and soooooo easy! Thanks Barry!
Fixed these for breakfast this morning, and OMG, they are outstanding. I added 2 Tbsp sugar as you recommended for a sweeter muffin and will definitely be making them again! They are so easy to throw together and get in the oven. Thanks for sharing such a good recipe.
Find it so hard to bake something without including some whole wheat flour. I’d like to take a chance on 1/3 flour =1 c. In this recipe.. I hope it will still work. Maybe some sour milk & big soda would help?
@Shirley, Have you tried? Did it turn out?
Made the biscuit muffins. They are fabulous!
Hi Barry
Just wondering if you have any gluten free recipes to post? I’m celiac and loved your recipes before I was diagnosed. I just made your chocolate pavlova cookies and they are delicious.
Thank you
Bonnie
There are a few on the website.
Made these this morning added a few more tsp of sugar very good breakfast muffin.
I'm new to this website, but glad I found it! Am into as-healthy-as-possible eating, so I tried this recipe w/ white whole wheat flour, allulose for sugar, and oat milk: turned out great! Family loved these basic buns as accompaniment to dinner or with butter for breakfast. I decided to go w/ the sugar to see how sweet the results would be, and it really wasn't obvious. If I want to make a sweet bun next time, I will simply increase the amount. Thanks for a fast but delish recipe!
Congratulations on this recipe! I just discovered it last month and love it! I live alone so halved the recipe and it works. I’ve even had a couple left over that stayed as good as fresh baked for a day or two. I really don’t like rolling out anything so these are great for my style of baking! I’ve shared the recipe multiple times. These are great! (As are all your recipes I’ve tried).
Made them and they were perfect. Did half recipe. Added a tbsp sugar and honey. Served with Italian potato soup. Awesome. Will share recipe with family. Will make for breakfast
These are fantastic! Very fluffy and tender! Will try adding blueberries next time. Goes into my Blue Ribbon file!
I've made this recipe a few times and I love it! Super easy and super tasty! It's a permanent staple in my house 😁
Do you think I could add blueberries to that to make not-too-sweet blueberry muffins?
Worth aa try.
Oh, I have to try these! I just made Indian Fry Bread yesterday and the ingredients are almost the same. I make fry bread a lot and I never thought to try to use the dough as muffins. And they look SO good!
Anyone tried making these with whole wheat flour?
How did you grease your muffin tins?
Just with butter.
