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.

These look delicious! I have a question though. Could I substitute buttermilk for the regular milk? If so would I still need to add the melted butter? Thanks!
Yes of course, but you still need the butter. Buttermilk has most of the fat removed in the butter making process.
I made these using my muffin top pans and they were great — another level of goodness with added “brown” crunch top and bottom.
Have you ever tried this recipe with gluten-free flour?
no but worth a try?
I’ve been looking for a recipe that has a yeasty flavor but the convenience of a quick bread recipe. Does such a thing exist?
Just made these, delicious.
I made 6 jumbo muffins, baked for 22 mins, perfect!
Thank you for this versatile and easy recipe.
I made these this morning, instead of making them into muffins, I used my silicone roll pans, which made perfect sandwich rolls. They taste just like regular biscuit and to be honest, much quicker to put together. Thank You
Vos traductions en français sont pourries, c'est honteux.
How can my translation be horrible when I've never translated anything into French. I have no idea what you're talking about.
Followed your NL.Tea biscuits (scone-like) recipe to a 'T', and had a bowlful of what looked like wet oatmeal breakfast cereal,
Recipe did not say to only add 1 Cup of evaporated milk until a dough was formed, so the whole cup was added as instructed. And everything was too wet! Are proportion correct??
3 C. flour- 3/4 C. sugar- 4 tsp baking powder - 1/2 tsp -salt - 3/4 C. butter- 2 tsp vanilla extract - 1 C. evaporated milk (undiluted) - 1 C or more of raisins - 2 Tb lemon juice. ??
Did you use the whole can or just one cup. Ypu definitely mismeasured something.
Can’t wait to make these we are going to have them on Monday for dinner they to be amazing thank you for sharing 👍
The Best I've tried & liked. However, I can't have the salt so I use my salt free garlic & herb seasonings 4 that extra flavor.
Could buttermilk be used in place of whole milk?
Yes indeed.
This recipe has become a staple in my house! I rarely put in the sugar. It is quick and tasty and best of all no rolling or cutting out! Less tools to wash! The ‘left overs”, if there are any, save beautifully for the next day stay nice and soft. Just put in a plastic bag or container. I highly recommend you try this recipe!
Can you substitute powdered milk in this recipe?
My husband and I really enjoyed this biscuit/ muffin bread. Love the chew and taste of it. Great recipe it’s one I will make again and again. Having it tonight with roast, potatoes and carrots.
Do you think this would work in a bread loaf pan? I was thinking how great it would taste toasted with butter and jam.
