53 Recipes That Prove You Should Always Have Store-Bought Canned Biscuits In Your Fridge (1)

We love to bake, but we’ll be the first to say it—sometimes, we just can’t be bothered with all the measuring of ingredients (with a scale, no less??), the rolling out of pie crust, or waiting for bread dough to rise. Can you relate? If so, these shortcut hacks using one of our favorite store-bought ingredients are for you. Like a tube of crescent roll dough or a bag of pizza dough before it, a can of biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands) is about to become your new best friend. Check out these 55 biscuit dough hacks to see what we mean, then add some to your grocery list STAT.

Store-bought biscuit dough is also super versatile. You can use it to make pull-apart breads, like our breakfast monkey bread, our maple bacon pull-apart bread, or our babka monkey bread. They’re also wonderful for turning into easy-to-assemble, bite-sized bombs, like our breakfast bombs, our cranberry brie bombs, or our buffalo chicken bombs. They also make great pretzels—all you need is a little baking soda for that classic flavor, and biscuit dough makes a pretty legitimate facsimile of the ballpark or street vendor fave in our soft pretzel bites or our cheesy pretzel twists.

It can also just be…biscuits! Our , our chicken pot pie casserole, our , and our chicken ‘n’ biscuit sliders all let them shine just as they are. Which do you prefer? Biscuits in disguise, or as a shortcut to a quick and easy meal or snack that doesn’t involve any mixing or kneading? Let us know in the comments below!

FAQs

Should canned biscuits be refrigerated? ›

Any biscuit can be stored in the refrigerator, but biscuits with ingredients like cheese or cream cheese always need to be stored there. Make sure the biscuits are well-sealed so they stay at the proper consistency until you use them. Throw away any biscuits that smell bad or look moldy.

How do you store biscuits in the fridge? ›

How long do unopened Pillsbury biscuits last in the fridge? ›

It is generally understood that these biscuits can last beyond the 'best by' date, approximately 2-3 months while still maintaining safety and some degree of freshness. However, consumers should be aware that the quality, including taste and texture, may decline as time passes beyond this date.

Can you refrigerate biscuit dough? ›

The dough is easy to make and can be made a day in advance. Wrap the dough discs tightly in food wrap and store in the fridge overnight. Remove the dough from the fridge about 20 minutes before you want to roll it and leave it on the worktop to soften slightly before you roll it out.

Why do canned biscuits pop in the fridge? ›

If they expanded in the fridge, it is more likely to be caused by bacterial action than any other explanation. They don't contain yeast, and chemical leaveners activate in the presence of heat. With questions about food that may have gone bad, the best advice is always, when in doubt, throw it out.

How do you store biscuits to keep them fresh? ›

The solution is as simple as putting the biscuits in an airtight jar along with a small piece of bread (no more than half a slice). If you don't have an airtight jar, a zip-lock bag also works well. The science behind it is that biscuits start to dry out as soon as you remove them from the oven.

Should potatoes be refrigerated? ›

They are safe to eat and a staple in many diets. Potatoes can last for up to several months in a cool pantry. If stored at room temperature, they are best if eaten within one to two weeks. Once cooked, keep them in the fridge for no more than three days.

In a refrigerator, this process is obstructed due to very low temperatures. As a result, the biscuits do not soften. Those biscuits/cookies would remain crisp and taste good even after a month or two of opening the wrapper.

Can you freeze Pillsbury canned biscuits? ›

Can you eat biscuits 2 years out of date? ›

Assuming the biscuit has been stored as directed on the package, it would most likely just be a bit stale, perhaps not as crisp as it was. It would not make you sick - but it wouldn't be a great biscuit either.

Do cinnamon rolls go bad? ›

If you store them like conventional breads, where they're tightly wrapped and in a bread bag in the bread box, they'll last between 3 and 5 days, but you shouldn't go beyond that, or they'll start to taste stale. If you store them in the fridge, they'll last a bit longer, perhaps up to 7 days.

Can Pillsbury grands go bad? ›

Yes, you can use canned biscuits after their expiration or 'best buy' date, although you should use them as soon after the best buy date as possible. If the can has popped open in the fridge, discard it. That's a sign the biscuits are bad.

Which liquid makes the best biscuits? ›

Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor to the biscuits and makes them slightly more tender.

Are biscuits better with butter or shortening? ›

Crisco may be beneficial for other baking applications, but for biscuit making, butter is the ultimate champion!

Why do refrigerate a biscuit before we place it in the oven? ›

But if you chill your pan of biscuits in the fridge before baking, not only will the gluten relax (yielding more tender biscuits), the butter will harden up. And the longer it takes the butter to melt as the biscuits bake, the more chance they have to rise high and maintain their shape. So, chill... and chill.

How long do canned biscuits last out of the fridge? ›

From personal experience, biscuits can last about 4 days at room temp and over a week refrigerated. Read the label on the package. If it says “refrigerate after opening” - do.

We recommend storing your cookie dough in a small airtight container in your fridge or freezer, depending on when you want to bake it. As a general rule, any cookie dough left on the counter at room temperature will be good for 2-4 hours but then may risk going bad, especially if it is already past its “best by” date.

Can you reheat canned biscuits? ›

Heat a non-stick — or better yet, cast iron — skillet over medium heat. Place your biscuits in the pan, butter side down. Let each one fry until the whole biscuit is warmed through and the buttered side is golden brown. These reheated biscuits taste so good that you'll never throw out leftovers again.

Can Pillsbury dough go bad? ›

It is recommended to use frozen and then thawed dough within 3-5 days once opened. What are the signs Pillsbury dough has gone bad? A change in smell, appearance, or texture indicates spoilage. If the dough has a sour smell, visible mold, or an off color, it should not be used.
