For that type of biscuit, Bisquick works perfectly. Another thing you can
do with Bisquick is substitute heavy cream for the liquid in the recipe on
the box. I find I usually have to add just a tad more because cream is
thicker. You'll never have a more tender biscuit, and never believe they
came from a box mix. These also lend themselves to baking somewhat in
advance and reheating, as they do not dry out. BTW, this would be for a
rolled biscuit, not a dropped biscuit, although I have a habit of simply
patting the dough out by hand instead of rolling, before cutting the
biscuits.

It's okay to do the right thing, as
long as you don't get caught.
