Pillsbury Grands! Buttermilk Biscuits
What it is
These are refrigerated biscuits made with buttermilk. They come in a can and are designed for quick preparation. The dough is pre-portioned and ready to bake. The buttermilk contributes to a tender texture and a slightly tangy flavor profile. They are a convenient option for busy cooks who want homemade-style biscuits without the effort of making them from scratch.
How people cook with it
These biscuits are a versatile addition to many meals. They can be served alongside breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
- Breakfast side dish
- Dinner roll alternative
- Base for biscuit sandwiches
- Topping for pot pies
To prepare, simply open the can by tapping the edge on a counter or using a can opener. Separate the biscuit dough rounds. Place them on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Bake in a preheated oven according to the package directions until they are golden brown and puffed up. They are best served warm, straight from the oven, for optimal texture and flavor. You can also brush them with melted butter after baking.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to homemade biscuits, these offer significant convenience and speed. They are typically softer and may have a slightly different crumb structure due to the manufacturing process. The flavor is consistent and reliable, unlike homemade versions which can vary based on ingredients and technique.

How to keep the rest
Keep the unused portion of the biscuit dough refrigerated. Ensure the can is properly sealed to maintain freshness. It is best to use the remaining biscuits within the recommended timeframe on the packaging. Do not freeze the dough.
