One thing that you must have in your home is pre-made biscuit dough. There are a lot of biscuit ideas you can try to elevate this pantry staple. Here’s a list of some dishes you can do with biscuit dough, plus a recipe for how to make biscuit dough donuts.
Muffins
Snack or dinner, this recipe is up for the job. Flatten each biscuit with a rolling pin to make your muffin base. Place at the center some cooked and chopped bacon, scrambled eggs, and your favorite shredded cheese.
You can also use sweeter options like chocolate or tart fruits. Pull each corner of the dough to form a ball, then press the seams to seal.
Place each “ball” into a cup of a greased muffin tin, then bake according to package instructions.
Monkey Bread
Whip this recipe out when you have friends over and you need a quick snack. Cut each biscuit into quarters then toss and shake them in a bag with cinnamon sugar.
Dump it into a tube pan then pour over a simple butter and brown sugar mixture. Toss into the oven you preheated at 350 degrees Fahrenheit then bake for 40 minutes.
Casserole
A lot of breakfast casseroles call for bread or it might require you to make your own dough.
Skip all those parts by cutting your biscuit dough into cubes then dump it into your casserole tray. Top it with your favorite meats (sausage won’t fail you in this) and cheese then throw it in the oven for 25-30 at 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Easy filling weekend breakfast.
Calzones
This is one of the tastiest and easiest stuffed biscuit recipes you have to try. Flatten each biscuit to create pockets, then prepare your filling.
While the video shared a mix of bacon crumbles and cheese, you can also use sausages or minced meat to make pocket-pot pies. Seal your pocket by folding it and pressing at the seams. Bake according to package instructions.
Pigs in a Blanket
Make this hearty snack while skipping the dough preparation!
Cut your refrigerated biscuit dough in half then roll them flat. Wrap them around your favorite sausage then bake. Yes, that’s it! You can also use smaller cocktail sausages to turn this into an appetizer.
Biscuit Dough Donuts
If there’s one obvious way to play around with biscuit dough, that’s making them into donuts aka cinnamon sugar biscuits.
Just scoop out the middle of the biscuit with a measuring spoon then fry them up. Toss them over cinnamon sugar or your own homemade glaze.
Waffle Bites
Who says you can’t use a biscuit dough for breakfast? This is one of the biscuit breakfast ideas you should try, especially when you’re running out of time.
Heat up your waffle iron and brush it with butter. Put in your biscuit dough one (at the center) or two (alternate corners) at a time then press them until cooked. Drizzle in some maple syrup and top with a dollop of butter while hot.
Pie Cover
Can you use biscuit dough for pie crust? You sure can, and it’s a great alternative in case you ran out of dough to cover your pie.
Separate the biscuit dough into thinner layers then line them over your pies. Brush it with a little egg wash for that golden brown finish. You can also do this with cobblers! How’s that for food versatility?
