The bagged ones almost have the same look, taste and texture of homemade biscuits. Looking at the website the ingredients look about the same.
You can usually find them in the frozen bread section in the grocery store.
Pillsbury biscuits in the refrigerator section with white gravy and Owens sausage crumbled in to the gravy with Tobasco sauce-heaven.
I remember KFC used to have good biscuits. I haven't eaten there in years, though - for no other reason that I just haven't had the KFC "urge".
It's hard to find a good biscuit in restaurants these days. I know I am usually disappointed.
You can always make your own but kinda defeats the purpose of grabbing a quick bite to eat. The ingredients in mine are unbleached flour, cold butter, buttermilk, baking powder and baking soda.
The less you work the dough the better. Make a batch and freeze them.
I found a recipe for biscuits that called for just 2 ingredients: self rising flour, and heavy cream (or a mix or cream and buttermilk depending on what you like). The writer, a food-blogger who hasn't steered me wrong in the past, claims they get you 90% of the way to a great biscuit with a fraction of the effort. I've made them a bunch of times and everyone loves them - though we're Yankees and probably don't know a good biscuit from a bagel.

Gosh Gaius, please share your recipe!
Could you share that recipe? Or, his website. Sounds interesting.
Sure thing. This comes from seriouseats.com:

Greetings, Gaius46. :2wave:
I'm a biscuit maker from way back. . .can't wait to try this one! Thank you! :kissy:
I haven't had a KFC urge in years either. Now I do. Thank you very much.
Tobasco on biscuits and gravy is mandatory!
The horror
the horror.
Suffering bad food in this era of peak quality cheap food is indeed a horror....so many people eat very poorly now, by choice.
I have not figured out what the larger lesson is here, but there is one here, and it has something to do with self esteem I bet.
I encourage you to take this inquiry more seriously.
Extra credit if there are two over easy eggs between the Tabasco and the gravy....
and even more extra points if there are grits under that layer of gravy
Wow really? In the Army DFACs I fed a lot of Southern Boys who loved their grits, but I remember the grits being separate from the Biscuits and Gravy.

I use a similar method for drop biscuits. I heat a cast iron skillet in the oven, throw in a stick of butter.When the butter is melted I take an ice cream scoop and fill the pan up,Bake it till the top turns brown.The bottoms come out crispy and crunchy.
