It's for a fast and reasonable tasty, out the door breakfast. I actually thought they were pretty good, particularly with some canned sausage gravy nuked about a minute prior and then finishing the biscuit off in it. Garnish with a little pat of butter and some shredded cheddar cheese -- yumm! I picked some of these up at Wal-Mart, but now they seem to have dissappeared. What gives?

The proper designation for this product is "Hearty-sized Biscuity Emulations" or "Thinkin' 'Bout Big Ol' Biskits," but real estate is at a premium on packages, and copy always concedes to the visual, however gruesome it may be.

I merely question the logic of putting them alongside surf and turf. It seems to me they belong with a more home-style meal. @Neil - Sounds delicious. I can't wait to drown them in a whole jar of premade gravy and beef jerky bits. @Dave – I haven’t bashed the Red Lobster biscuits themselves.

Set aside for 10 minutes until bubbles begin to form. In a food processor or blender, add flour, baking soda and sugar. Process to distribute dry ingredients together well. Add shortening and pulse until mixture is crumbly, like coarse cornmeal. Pour in buttermilk and yeast mixture. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead together 2-3 times. Pat out or roll to a thickness of 1 inch. Using a biscuit cutter, cut dough into 2 1/2 inch rounds and place on a baking sheet. Allow to rise for 30 minutes in a warm place. Bake in a preheated 400°F degree oven 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Dissolve yeast in a small bowl of warm water with a pinch of sugar and flour.

If you don't mind me asking, where are you from? You need to experience the greatness that is a homemade biscuit with butter and/or honey. KFC and Popeye's just have horrible biscuits. Church's has decent ones, but I don't know if they're nationwide. Poor Reprobate, maybe one day someone will read the author and you can get credit.
