# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They're ridiculously easy to make and look far more impressive than the effort actually requires.
  • These disappear fastest at any gathering because they hit every comfort food note at once.
02 -
  • Don't overmix once the milk is in, or the balls can become tough; you want them tender, not dense.
  • If your mixture feels too wet after adding the milk, sprinkle in a touch more Bisquick—every brand absorbs liquid slightly differently.
03 -
  • Use a cookie scoop instead of a spoon—it ensures every ball is roughly the same size so they bake evenly and finish at the same time.
  • Don't skip wetting your hands; it takes 2 seconds and prevents constant sticking, which means faster rolling and less frustration.
