I am a big fan of cheap, canned biscuits because they are versatile and easy to prepare. Here are a few of my uses and a link for more recipes.
Donuts or Donut Holes
If you want donuts, use a medicine bottle or something small like that to make a hole in the center and fry them in oil (about 3 minutes each side). If you don't feel like going all out, just cut each biscuit into quarters and fry them as donut holes. Sprinkle with sifted powdered sugar, cinnamon and sugar mixture or try this easy chocolate sauce
Glaze
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3 tablespoon milk
2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips
Blend with spoon until smooth. Melt chocolate chips in microwave for 30-60 seconds, stirring often Add to sugar glaze mix. (recipe taken from Miserly Moms)
Mini pizzas
Make your own "bagel bite" like mini pizzas. Flatten the inside of the biscuit with the spoon of a ladle or a medicine bottle. Fill with pizza sauce, bits of leftover sausage, pepperoni and cheese. Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes or until bottoms are brown and cheese is melted.
Or use rolling pin to flatten all the biscuits and place them, overlapping in a Pyrex pan for a large pizza crust.
Turnovers
flatten the biscuit with a rolling pin and fill (just a dollop!) with pie filling (cherry, apple, peach) on half of the dough, fold over the remaining half and seal with a fork. Fry until lightly golden brown (on both sides) and drain on paper towel or brown paper bag.
Bread sticks
Take 1 biscuit and roll between your hands to make a stick. (think back to your play dough days)repeat with remaining biscuits. Brush with melted butter and add some garlic salt. Bake in oven at 375 for 5 minuets.
Pigs in a blanket
For regular hot dog wienies, simply flatten a biscuit with rolling pin, and wrap around hot dog and bake. I also use the little smokey links to make appetizers. Just flatten out the biscuit and cut in half before wrapping. You can also wrap breakfast sausage links.
Sugar biscuits
Lightly fry a biscuit (whole) and then roll in granulated sugar. These are very similar to the sugar rolls you can get at a Chinese restaurant.
Clover Leaf Rolls
These were a hit at our Christmas dinner!
Take one biscut, divide into three pieces, roll each piece into a ball and place them in a greased muffin tin.
Here are a few more ideas from Yahoo! Answers which has some of the same as above ( tightwads think alike!) and then click HERE for the ever useful dumpling recipe that uses canned biscuits.
