Biscuit dough may be used in many ways:
- Add grated cheese, chopped parsley, chives or herbs for flavorful biscuit variations.
- To make drop biscuits: Increase the milk to 1/3 cup for the “Just for Two” size recipe; to 1 cup for the family size recipe.
- Use as a top crust for a chicken or meat pie.
- It will serve as the dough for a meat roll – combine chopped meat bound together w/ gravy & spread over the dough, then rolled as a jelly roll and cut before baking. Serve with additional gravy or a cheese sauce.
- Add a little sugar to the dough and use it for shortcakes.
- Use as a covering for baked apple dumplings or as the dough for a fruit or pinwheel roll.
- Mix dough but do not knead; drop by tablespoonful onto top of hot stewed fruit or berries and bake as a “cobbler.
