What it is
These biscuits are a convenient pantry staple, offering a ready-to-use dough for various baked goods. They are made with plant-based ingredients, making them suitable for those following a vegan diet or looking for dairy-free options. The dough is typically pre-formed and ready to be shaped or baked as is, simplifying the baking process.
How people cook with it
These biscuits are a versatile base for both sweet and savory creations.
- Quick breakfast pastries
- Savory dinner rolls
- Sweet dessert bases
- Dipping bread for soups
To prepare, simply unroll the dough from its packaging. You can cut it into desired shapes for biscuits, cookies, or other pastries. For a simple bake, place the shapes onto a baking sheet and cook according to package directions, usually until golden brown. They can also be used as a topping for casseroles or as a base for mini pot pies. Experiment with adding herbs or spices to the dough before baking for added flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to homemade biscuit dough, these pre-made versions offer significant time savings. They also tend to have a more consistent texture and rise due to standardized ingredient proportions and preparation methods. Their plant-based formulation distinguishes them from traditional biscuits that often contain dairy.

How to keep the rest
After opening, any unused portion of the biscuit dough should be tightly re-wrapped or placed in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent the dough from drying out. It is best to use the remaining dough within a few days of opening.
