I've had the Great Value (canned) gravy and I'll admit, it's not too bad either. A neighbor of mine swears by it—with ground Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage.Gotta say this (cheap) stuff from Walmart is pretty dang good - when you brown some sausage and add this in.
She's cute, single, loves her beer and food...but even after showing her how to make biscuits she still insists on buying the frozen, pre-made biscuits in a bag.
I don’t mind them. At least they’re not canned.

Do you have a can of Crisco in the kitchen?

Hes probably a straight up bacon grease in the fridge kinda guy... not that there's anything wrong with that.
Hell really would literally have to freeze over.
Homemade biscuits are great, but some of the ones from a bag ain't too bad in a pinch or if you're in a hurry. If one is buying canned biscuits, I'm assuming you're either making pigs (with Conecuh if you're a true Southerner) in a blanket or you hate yourself.

Let's say you made biscuits yesterday morning. Are you and the family eating all of them?
I realize my perspective is a little different here—one mouth versus three. I made some yesterday, probably a dozen, maybe 13 out of the batch. I believe I ate three throughout the day.
Throw a couple in the toaster oven and I'm good to go (versus frozen.)
Caveat: I HATE bread/biscuits in the microwave.
Probably not.
You appear to view biscuits the way I look at mass-produced gravy. Just not a fan.
God doesn't promise us a tomorrow, so why chance saving biscuits for it? Seriously, I don't make them from scratch too often, usually the occasional weekend morning. Don't get me on a rant though why stores around my house show a flippant at best attitude toward stocking buttermilk. I'm the same with stuff like pancakes though too. I love them, but rarely make them. On a weekday my breakfast is usually a Kind bar.
Also, it hit me why I thought I may have posted this before... Saw my bottle of Mike's Hot Honey in the pantry earlier and remembered I posted something similar a while back, but instead of gravy it was putting hot pepper infused honey on the chicken biscuit. That is also a clear path to breakfast victory.

Oh gawd. What was was was before was was was?
One mouth compared to three. It certainly makes it easy to have a couple of sausage and biscuits ready to go: toaster oven for one, microwave for the other.
I'll admit donning an elitist attitude towards biscuits in a bag: they're edible.

Self rising flour with heavy whipping cream added makes a decent biscuit. Frozen biscuits seem too crumbly for me.

All-purpose with cream of tarter works well.

Isn't cream of tarter a powder? Got to have a liquid. Or are you trolling?
TerryP
Staff
Yes, it's a powder. The reaction between cream of tartar and baking soda with All-purpose makes the biscuit rise. I use half and half for liquid.

The White Lilly I use rises very well on it's own. Only flour and heavy whipping cream, nothing else.

Self-rising has baking soda and salt mixed in; another chemical reaction to get it to rise. You'll get more protein in your diet with All-purpose.
I've always heard, as well as read, to use All-Purpose unless the recipe calls for self-rising. I've used both and find the texture and flavor more to my liking with All-purpose.

I eat more than my share, but I believe refined flour is not good for anyone's health. I seldom make biscuits, but I get my quota elsewhere.
My drive is 9 miles and I pass 2. If I want to get a little creative, I can add about 5 miles and pass 2 more.
