I know this might sound strange...but whenever I make biscuits, we always seem to have two leftover. There's only 3 of us to eat them, and it just works out that way.
Anyway, does anyone have any recipes or ideas for uses of old biscuits? I keep thinking I could crumble them on top of something, but I'm not sure how or what. I know there has to be a yummy, unique solution!!

Er, living where you do, it ought to be obvious - hockey pucks!!! JUST KIDDING! Warm them in the oven next day for a special treat for yourself with butter and strawberry jam or honey? I've kept extra biscuits around for a couple days, and a few minutes in the oven (NOT microwave) and they are fine and tasty.

| I freeze them. If you know they're going to be leftovers, go ahead and freeze them before you bake them. They heat up just the same. |

I micro mine with butter and honey for a few seconds.....then they are good again. But just do it for ten seconds or so.
Otherwise, the foxes get them.

| I usually try to make two batches when I make biscuits so that I can freeze some. Then I can get them out and bake them for breakfast really easily. They bake up just the same and taste as good. |

My Mom used to cut them in half, put a slice of cheese on them and broil until melted. Very good, only a LITTLE fattening!

How about putting them in the food processor for bread crumbs. I always seem to need them for a topping on casseroles or for a Apple (berry) Betty.
Yum!

If I have any biscuits left I usually cut them in half and put a little butter on them and put them on my little cast iron griddle..it is small only 2 biscuits cut in half will fit. and brown them up. You can and a little jam if you like.. Yummy....also make some gravy and you have biscuits and gravy..
