Pillsbury Grands Biscuits Southern Style

Have you ever tried Pillsbury Grands Biscuits? They are wonderful. You will find them in the frozen bread section at your local grocery store. These frozen dough biscuits come in a variety of flavors: Buttermilk, Southern Style, Butter Tastin, Flaky Layers and Cheddar garlic. I prefer the Southern Style in a package of 12 "ready to cook" biscuits.

Growing up with a mother that cooked biscuits 3 times daily and made it look easy, as a young wife I believed the ability to make good biscuits was a sign of a good cook. I never accomplished that feat. I could bake excellent pies, cakes and even loaf bread occasionally, but my biscuits always came out like "hockey pucks", dry and very hard. They were lazy biscuits that got cooked in the "squat" because they would not jump up in time! For a number of years I tried to make decent biscuits. I tried different recipes, different ovens, made sure my ingredients were fresh and nothing worked. It was just not meant to be!

I resorted to using "whop" biscuits. "Whop" biscuits are the canned biscuits you remove from the refrigerator, whop on the edge of the counter to open, and cook. These were satisfactory, but not nearly as good as home made biscuits.

One weekend while visiting relatives, I was served some of the most wonderful biscuits I had eaten since my mother's biscuits. They were Pillsbury Grands Biscuits - Southern Style. I have tried 2 of the different flavors, but my preference is the Southern Style biscuits.

Bake time is 16 to 22 minutes (depending on quantity) at 375 degrees F. The freezer bag comes with a closing strip for re-sealing. I find a wooden clothes pin is more secure. One thing especially good about the package is the expiration date is very plain and visible.

If you have never tried Pillsbury Grands Biscuits I highly recommend them to you. They really should change the name to Pillsbury Grandma's Biscuits - because they are just that good!
