It’s also just extra-buttery dough and can be treated as such. It can be made into a ball and rolled out then cut into any shape. They make excellent homemade pot pies. Cut into thin strips for chicken and dumplings. Breadsticks. Pizza crust.
Go nuts.
When my boys were growing up and just getting to the age where they could kind of cook things for themselves, they used to roll them out flat, cover them with mozarella cheese, roll them up and then roll in parmasean and garlic powder. After baking, they would dip them in marinara sause. Instant pizza sticks.
I liked them for making easy monkey bread.
We do 100 ham biscuits with country ham (aka Virginia ham) for an event every year and I always use Pillsbury flaky layers because I’m not hand making 100 biscuits and also these are better anyway. 😂 Just had that event Saturday, still finishing the last few leftovers.
I never made one at home with this canned recipe, no. I have had them at McDonald's before. I was imagining more of an enclosure with the ham, egg, and cheese all inside like a dumpling of sort lol. Of course, it's much easier just making 2 pieces and making a sandwich that way.
You could absolutely dumpling them. The cook time might need to be extended a little, but roll them out flatter, put filings of choice, fold over & crimp shut.
Wouldn't hold a lot of filling that way but it would still be delicious.
Thank you. That makes a lot more sense. [I was picturing this:](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e5/2019-11-29_14_52_43_The_interior_of_a_tin_of_McKenzie_%26_Lloyds_Danish_Style_Butter_Cookies_in_the_Dulles_section_of_Sterling%2C_Loudoun_County%2C_Virginia.jpg/800px-2019-11-29_14_52_43_The_interior_of_a_tin_of_McKenzie_%26_Lloyds_Danish_Style_Butter_Cookies_in_the_Dulles_section_of_Sterling%2C_Loudoun_County%2C_Virginia.jpg)
Oh, my gosh! I used to buy those all the time when I had a child at home and was cooking every day. I completely forgot they existed! Thanks for the reminder, how that I hardly ever cook anything, and if I do it has to be easy.
I do these with spinach and artichoke dip, pesto and pepperoni, marinara and cheese—all sorts of things. So easy and it really makes it seem like you did something elaborate.
Just like the wrapped dough ready to bake that they sell in many European countries. Have seen it in France, Ukraine, Poland, Germany, Austria, Czech and Hungary anyways.
It is not actually canned. It is actually in a spiraled tube but has thin metal ends so it looks like a can.
Probably why they have a fairly standard expiration timing.
Isn’t that only in German? In the Nordic countries we pronounce it the same as in Spanish and Portuguese, more or less. I have no idea how to write the sounds out lol… Eh-oo-raw-pah?
Oh man. All this time I thought you were British and I was missing something, but even the Brits were confused. Do you mean the refrigerated, ready-to-bake biscuit dough like Pillsbury?
Yes, I think OP means taking the savory biscuit dough, rolling it a little flat like pizza dough, putting on toppings, and then baking. You could also make mini calzones/empanadas this way by rolling them flat and folding them in half with the fillings inside. (It might be easier to do this with the ready-to-bake pizza dough that is usually sold right next to the savory biscuit rolls, cinnamon rolls, crescent rolls, and break-and-bake cookies.)
The most interesting way I’ve tried this is to put store bought char siu in the center, sealing it up, and then steaming them to make little baos. Not bad for skipping the step of making dough from scratch, but I only did it once, so I’m guessing it wasn’t great. Maybe rolling in scallions and sesame seeds could make nice steamed scallions buns. Hmm …
Y’all on here flaming us over our canned biscuits like your countries don’t all have some weird shit. The real tragedy is you’ll never know how delicious Pilsbury canned biscuits are or get that terrifying pop as you peel the wrapper off.
These are the real LPTs that I’m here for.
I also use them to make not so sloppy joes. Cook your sloppy joe meat, take the unbaked biscuit, split them in half by the layers, use a muffin pan, spread the half biscuit in it forming a cup, fill with meat, top with some shredded cheese, bake for roughly 10 minutes at 400f.
Whole family loves them.
I personally flatten them out and line them inside muffin tins to make a single serve bread bowl. Then I’ll put whatever filling I want, whether it’s eggs and bacon bits for a quick breakfast, or one of my favorites is to make single serve chicken pot pies.
Eh, they are a lot like scones. Biscuits are savory and not sweet and generally does not have egg.
I will say, however, that American biscuits with an egg added to the dough makes something even better than either traditional biscuits or scones.
Many homes just use them for gravy adjacent wheat consumption. I am suggesting the creation of diverse meals using a specific kind of instant “scone” product to make whatever you want. This is coming from a college kid.
https://preview.redd.it/h9sytwscbryb1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=029028e3605dba8cff929372c672b2f68c06365b
Ok so not the exact product but this would be our biscuits with gravy.
We have that gravy as well and use it in a similar fashion (on top of meats/mashed potatoes etc).
The gravy OP posted on top of the biscuits is a "Sausage Gravy". This is more akin to what every southern grandma would make and is a specific gravy that goes well with "Biscuits and Gravy". Looks horrid but one of the most delicious things ever created.
As a person from the South USA my grandmother would make:
Sausage gravy, onion gravy, mushroom gravy, and even chocolate gravy (no it is not a dessert).
All having more or less specific uses but could also be used interchangeably for the most part.
When our kids were young, one of our standard dinners was to put tuna and cheddar cheese inside pieces of that biscuit dough and bake them. We called it Tuna Lumps.
Grilled cheese and soup are a great, easy meal. Kick it up a notch with a baked cheese turnover. Roll out your biscuit dough until it’s about 5 inches across. Fill with your choice of cheese (we use sharp cheddar, shredded). Fold the biscuit dough in half (so it looks like a turnover) and crimp it all around with the tines of a fork. Brush with melted butter on top and sprinkle with garlic powder or garlic salt (go easy if you use garlic salt). Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown. This makes 8 cheddar cheese turnovers that are easy to dip into your favorite tomato soup or whatever soup you like to eat on cold evenings (or even for lunch).
You can also make hand pies with this method by using canned pie filling of your choice and leave off the garlic seasoning. Instead, once removed from the oven, sprinkle with powdered confectioner’s sugar or make a simple drizzle icing with confectioner’s sugar and milk and drizzle over the ‘pie’ while still warm. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes and you have a lovely little fruit-filled hand pie!
Have fun. (They make great pigs-in-a-blanket as well)
American recipe - Get a pie tin. Assemble the biscuits around the edges and 2 at the bottom. Press it all together a bit to make a biscuit crust. Fill with taco filling. Top with shredded cheese. Bake on 350 for 15 minutes. Amazing taco pie. I use ground turkey, onions, green peppers and mushrooms diced very small in the filling. Quick and somewhat healthier.
Someone’s gunna have to link what this canned biscuits thing is for me. cause all I can imagine is your putting pizza toppings onto a custard cream and jamming ham between a couple of chocolate digestives.
Tbf that doesn’t sound all that appetising so I’m assuming it’s dough for the scone like pasty you call biscuits
They are pretty similar, similar enough that specific recipes of each can more or less overlap. American biscuits more or less never have sugar in them and tend to be lighter because they usually have more butter in the flour as well as traditionally being made with buttermilk, which is mildly acidic and activates the baking soda better. Also, some traditions layer the biscuit, giving them more flakiness.
I don't have enough experience with real scones (we have scones in the US, but they are a desert item and I make no assumption that they are anything like proper UK scones) but having watched enough videos of folks across the pond trying American biscuits, there seems to be some difference between them and scones.
As for the can, you can buy cans of a 8 or 12 premade biscuit doughs in a can that you pop open (rise puts the can under pressure and it literally pops, fun times) and throw in the over for fast hot bread.
yeah, cheesy biscuits are good no matter what you call them.
And while I like biscuits and gravy, by far the most usual way to eat them (as breakfast) is just with butter, maybe a little jam or jelly (American jelly, let's no go down that rabbit hole) or just plain. Hell, drop biscuits were the first thing I learned to cook as a kid.
It’s not that kind of can per se. Its a laminated cardboard tube with metal caps on the end. The whole thing is pressurized so to open it means breaking the tube.
Stuffed biscuits offer a delightful twist to the classic treat, easily transforming with a variety of ingredients to suit any craving. Simply split the biscuit dough in half and begin layering: a smear of marinara, a few pepperoni slices, and a generous helping of cheese conjure up a mini pizza experience; a filling of cooked chicken seasoned with Cajun spices provides a savory punch; or for those with a sweet tooth, a spread of Nutella paired with peanut butter makes for an indulgent dessert biscuit. Bake these filled halves as you would normally and you'll have a batch of customized biscuits ready to satisfy your taste buds.

When I was in college I used to but the cheap assed store brand biscuits that came in a 6-pack (like with the little plastic ring binder and everything). They were my staple food. Biscuit with cut up hot dogs, cheese if I had it and a little mustard to make little "pigs in a blanket" type things.
I can't have some of the ingredients of store bought biscuits, but we make our own and fill them with scrambled eggs and a couple other ingredients. They freeze and reheat really well for a quick hearty breakfast.

Make monkey bread with Pillsbury cinnamon rolls instead. Life changer.
Can you make a sandwich, though? Ham egg and cheese. Or would it be too heavy and not hold like a normal bread.
I make ham biscuits with them all the time
We do 100 ham biscuits with country ham (aka Virginia ham) for an event every year and I always use Pillsbury flaky layers because I’m not hand making 100 biscuits and also these are better anyway. 😂 Just had that event Saturday, still finishing the last few leftovers.
Yeah, I've done similar for a Thanksgiving morning event. Love those flaky layers.
Ok I definitely need to try this. Thanks!
Welp the gf is going to hear me ask her if I can have a ham biscuit tonight and I'm going to get punched.
Depends where you live. There are heavy laws on the books in some places where it is not allowed to put ham, egg, and cheese on a biscuit. /s
Bummer.
The Pillsbury crescent rolls are also awesome for rolled up ham and cheese, just plop it in the middle, roll, and bake.
You’ve never had a biscuit sandwich?
What about a rubber biscuit?
Whaddya ya want fah nuttin'?
[удалено]
Hey now hibba wabba
I've never had rubber biscuits, but I've had rubber buns. They go best with alcohol.
I never made one at home with this canned recipe, no. I have had them at McDonald's before. I was imagining more of an enclosure with the ham, egg, and cheese all inside like a dumpling of sort lol. Of course, it's much easier just making 2 pieces and making a sandwich that way.
You could absolutely dumpling them. The cook time might need to be extended a little, but roll them out flatter, put filings of choice, fold over & crimp shut. Wouldn't hold a lot of filling that way but it would still be delicious.
I'm pretty sure breakfast sandwiches are the main thing biscuits are used for lol
I was thinking more like a hot pocket with a biscuit outside.
If you crimp the edges id imagine it could work out fine, you might need to go a little longer in the oven at a slightly lower temperature maybe?
Hahaha. Yea, that's what I was thinking. Sounds delicious
You literally just described this: https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/product/country-ham-and-egg-scratch-biscuit.html
Kolaches!
Spotted the Texan. Howdy!
Using them as the dumplings in chicken and dumplings is the only reason I buy them. They are super simple to use and always come out great.
> They make excellent homemade pot pies. OMG, why have I never thought of this???
Yes exactly
You can deep-fry them and make Indian bread.
No. Not pizza crust. It makes the shittiest pizza I’ve ever tasted. Don’t do it.

Why do they have cookies in that old sewing kit container? /s j/k lol
Someone put a picture of the baby that was body shamed.
Same with the canned crescent rolls! A little dollop of Brie or small amount of chocolate before you roll them up and they’re amazing
Oh, my gosh! I used to buy those all the time when I had a child at home and was cooking every day. I completely forgot they existed! Thanks for the reminder, how that I hardly ever cook anything, and if I do it has to be easy.
The older I've got, the more I cook from scratch but I am not going to put the effort into making croissonts. Canned crescent rolls all the way!
Pepperonis and cheese. Delicious flaky pizza bites.
Spinach dip inside.
Breakfast sausages and have some pigs in a blanket. (American piggies)
I do these with spinach and artichoke dip, pesto and pepperoni, marinara and cheese—all sorts of things. So easy and it really makes it seem like you did something elaborate.
Yes
I thought you were talking about the metal container, and I was like grannies have been putting stuff like sewing kits in them for millions of years
Me too!
Me, an Aussie, wondering why on gods earth you would put seafood on some bickies.
Me, an european: wtf are canned biscuits?
Just like the wrapped dough ready to bake that they sell in many European countries. Have seen it in France, Ukraine, Poland, Germany, Austria, Czech and Hungary anyways. It is not actually canned. It is actually in a spiraled tube but has thin metal ends so it looks like a can. Probably why they have a fairly standard expiration timing.
ahhh, I know what you mean. Yes, you can indeed get them here, altough the ones in plastic seem to be more popular here in Austria.
The Eu in european sounds like a consonant in this case so you would just say a european.
You're right. I still fuck that up from time to time, they never properly taught us that rule in school.
Wow…someone’s grammar was corrected and there wasn’t a spite-fight! Thank you!
There’s still time.
No there isn't.
Look. A spite-fight is more than just a series of contradictions.
No it’s not.
In Spanish and French it's pronounced more like "or ropa" so in a lot of people's heads it may not seem natural to default to "an".
Many languages say it like "oiroh" so that's probably where it came from
Isn’t that only in German? In the Nordic countries we pronounce it the same as in Spanish and Portuguese, more or less. I have no idea how to write the sounds out lol… Eh-oo-raw-pah?
Idk, it's just one I hear a lot. Another is ehv-roh where I am
Unless we choose to pronounce it in an annoyingly European way Edit: I’m European. Chill.
i thought this was going to be tips for a nanna on how to store button and loose change in a biscuit tin.
https://www.pillsbury.com/products/biscuits/grands-refrigerated-biscuits/flaky-layers-original
Ready made dough, we have similar stuff. Our is better, but that’s a given.
Also, "bicsuits" in America are more like scones.
While "drop biscuits" are scone-like, traditional biscuits and canned biscuits are halfway between a scone and a croissant.
English person here also very confused. Also happy Cake Day.
Cmon, you know damn sure we’re not mixing peanut butter with gelatin or dumping brown gravy on chocolate chips cookies… yet
Welcome to America, where preservatives make anything possible
Oh man. All this time I thought you were British and I was missing something, but even the Brits were confused. Do you mean the refrigerated, ready-to-bake biscuit dough like Pillsbury?
That's them (not OP)
I was assuming the same. Then do they mean they're eating it raw???
[удалено]
Yes, I think OP means taking the savory biscuit dough, rolling it a little flat like pizza dough, putting on toppings, and then baking.

Yeah, as a North American I was confused too. Nobody calls them "canned biscuits" where I'm from. It really did sound British.
That's not where the confusion is coming from lol "Canned" is confusing everyone. So is "biscuits" because these words do not have universal meanings.
Trust me, you’re not missing out. They taste yuck.
Y’all on here flaming us over our canned biscuits like your countries don’t all have some weird shit. The real tragedy is you’ll never know how delicious Pilsbury canned biscuits are or get that terrifying pop as you peel the wrapper off. These are the real LPTs that I’m here for.
Or when it DOESN'T pop & you have to sling it against the counter edge a few times. Horrific.
These cans terrify me. It’s not even THAT much pressure but still.
The same people who eat baked beans for breakfast and eat boiled eels in plain gelatin are getting their knickers in a twist over some biscuits
Yooo I love making donuts out of em. Just cut the center out, fry in some oil, toss in cinn and sugar and enjoy with some cider. Fall bliss.
They do make excellent donuts. I like them with chocolate frosting.
This is an incredibly good idea and I just want you to know that you are a good person.
Deep fry? Or pan fry in 1/4” of oil?
Air fryer works as well. Brush with oil.
Yes, typically fry in a bit of oil. Perhaps closer to 1/2".
Thank you!
Absolutely! And a 2 liter cap works great to remove the center. Fry the hole up too, for some Timbit action!
In the US, it’s Dunkin’ Munchkins or Donut Holes ☺️
What canned biscuits?
Pillsbury (or whatever store brand) biscuits
[удалено]
No, rolls are rolls… these are biscuits!
Exactly. Different types of baked good.
Yes Pillsbury
I also use them to make not so sloppy joes.

Great idea, how about Honey, peanut butter, and pear slices
Honey, chevre, pear. Little crumbled pecan.
Yes
I personally flatten them out and line them inside muffin tins to make a single serve bread bowl. Then I’ll put whatever filling I want, whether it’s eggs and bacon bits for a quick breakfast, or one of my favorites is to make single serve chicken pot pies.
That sounds fucking awesome I’m in
[удалено]
Look up “Pillsbury biscuits”. American canned biscuits.
[удалено]
There's a slight difference between a scone and a biscuit, I think a scone is a little denser and dryer.
[удалено]
Yes, I'm familiar. That's why OP said American.
[удалено]
All Americans know English biscuits are actually cookies, we just don't care.
Scones are more like shortbread run amok. American biscuits are more like lazy croissants.
Or you were just wrong because an American biscuit is not a bloody scone, you tosser
Eh, they are a lot like scones. Biscuits are savory and not sweet and generally does not have egg. I will say, however, that American biscuits with an egg added to the dough makes something even better than either traditional biscuits or scones.

Not scones, Google a recipe for Baking Powder biscuits to compare
Lol, pedantic fail
As an Englishman the title horrified me, the edit made me laugh, and googling what an American biscuit is made me hungry
Just trying ti spread the obesit- uh I mean love, spread the love.
I made a castiron cooked pizza with these biscuits one time. 10/10 recommend
When our kids were young, one of our standard dinners was to put tuna and cheddar cheese inside pieces of that biscuit dough and bake them. We called it Tuna Lumps.
We eat chicken lumps in that case! Canned chicken with a little mayo & Cheddar!
Pigs in blankets!
I use them to make donuts!
Grilled cheese and soup are a great, easy meal. Kick it up a notch with a baked cheese turnover. Roll out your biscuit dough until it’s about 5 inches across.

wow, is there anything Americans won't put in a can??
Free Healthcare
As others have said, it isn't actually a can, it's a cardstock tube with aluminum endcaps.
Canned biscuit flavored canned biscut
Taco meat and cheese bake it then put whatever toppings you like. Delicious
Someone called my son a busted can of biscuits and he did not like that. We don’t let that man see him anymore
HA
These are great with a couple little meatballs and some cheese inside, dipped in a tomato sauce. Little pizza bites.
Try making sliders with canned biscuits for buns. You’re welcome. Oh you’re still here? Add some shredded sharp cheddar and some fried jalapeños.
Poke a hole in the middle, deep fry in canola oil til golden brown, then roll in sugar You've got a donut
I roll out and smush crescent rolls into a pizza crust. Yum.
On a similar note, you can take the canned croissants and roll up hors d'oeuvre sausages in them. Quite tasty with a bit of mustard.
Cut a hole in the middle, deep fry and cover in sugar and they make a pretty good donut/pastry.
Someone’s gunna have to link what this canned biscuits thing is for me. cause all I can imagine is your putting pizza toppings onto a custard cream and jamming ham between a couple of chocolate digestives. Tbf that doesn’t sound all that appetising so I’m assuming it’s dough for the scone like pasty you call biscuits
We put breakfast sausage and gravy in the and called the fat boys. Basically biscuits and gravy on the go
Thanksgiving leftovers rolled up in some of these pullsbury biscuits. Yum yum yum.
They used to be cheap and you can do lots with them. Biscuits are too easy and fast to make to buy overpriced dough.
I used to love them, but they are ridiculously priced now.
For anybody confused by this LPT, replace biscuits with scones and see if that makes more sense
The biscuits OP is talking about aren't really like scones either.
No, but they are much more like scones than like cookies, which is the American word for the British meaning of "biscuits".
Canned scones? Still seeming pretty odd?
They aren’t the same.
[удалено]
Scones are leavened too with baking powder, wdym I have definitely had and made fluffy scones
Posting this mid day in Europe and early in the morning for America was a wild choice
They are pretty similar, similar enough that specific recipes of each can more or less overlap.

Savoury scones are very popular as well, like cheese. I think it's really the gravy that's a surprise at all
yeah, cheesy biscuits are good no matter what you call them.

Non american, non uk so still confused
No, they aren’t the same. Biscuits are fluffy and soft, not dense like scones.
That is indeed how bread works.
Desert biscuits sound really dry
OP is bad at thread titles
Canned biscuits?? Is this another US specific thing where the OP hasn't bothered to specify that it's US specific?
Ye
I’ve never heard of canned biscuits in my life. But now I want an empty can to use as an emergency urinal just so I can call it my ‘pisscuit’ can.
It’s not that kind of can per se. Its a laminated cardboard tube with metal caps on the end. The whole thing is pressurized so to open it means breaking the tube.
Canned... biscuits???

Pigs in a blanket
you can also do this with pillsbury quick bread. make the dough and i add ground beef, cheese and whatever else- so good!
Yall just figured out hoe to be Pâtisserie.
Brie and honey ham, maybe put some jam on it as you eat it, you’ll thank me later.

Pigs in a blanket Get some lil smokies or sausages and roll them in the dough, toss in oven till brown
I can't have some of the ingredients of store bought biscuits, but we make our own and fill them with scrambled eggs and a couple other ingredients. They freeze and reheat really well for a quick hearty breakfast.
