5 New Things to Do with Biscuit Dough

What a beautiful world we live in: We can pop open a tube and have fresh-baked biscuits in 15 minutes. The best part of all? This dough isn't just good for biscuits. Use it to make waffles, bao, doughnuts and more.

These little quiche-inspired guys are so pretty and amazingly easy to make. Just nestle rounds of biscuit dough into muffin cups, making a hole by pushing the dough up the sides. Then mix up a little thawed, chopped spinach with diced ham, shredded Swiss, and some salt and pepper. Stuff the mixture into the holes and bake just as the tube says. Serve them, cut in half, with a fried egg. 

No need to make a trip to the doughnut shop when you have biscuit dough in the house. Just lay out the biscuits and cut out the centers with small, round cookie cutters. Fry them in vegetable oil at 350 degrees F until puffed and golden brown, and spread the tops with melted chocolate while they are still warm. Colorful sprinkles make them extra festive!

These gooey, cheesy, meaty cheeseburger bombs are the perfect hunger-busting snack. Flatten out your biscuit rounds and put a couple of tablespoons of cooked ground beef in the middle. Top it with a folded-up square of American cheese and then gather the edges up to enclose the filling. Bake them, seam-side down, according to the directions on the tube. Serve them with ketchup, mustard and pickles — or whatever fun things you like to put on your burger!

You don’t have to bother mixing up waffle batter to make this delicious dish that makes an equally fantastic breakfast or dessert. Just flatten rounds of biscuit dough and cook them up (one at a time) in your waffle maker. For the sauce, toast some pecans in a pan with a little butter and add caramel sundae topping until warm. Drizzle it on the waffles and enjoy.
