If you’re curious about how to transform canned biscuits into mouthwatering treats, there’s only one way to find out—try it yourself! In this post, we’ve compiled 10 creative hacks to take your canned biscuits to a whole new level. Let’s get started!
Pan-fry Your Biscuits
Pan-frying is a quick, easy-peasy way to turn your canned biscuits into yummy, out-of-grandma’ s-kitchen homemade cookies. Our go-to is the Pillsbury Grands Biscuits because they do really well with this recipe, but you can use any biscuits of your choice. Separate eight biscuits from one another so it makes sixteen pieces.

Next, melt two tablespoons of butter into your skillet. Once the butter melts, place the biscuits into the pan and let them fry for two minutes before you flip them. Finally, take them out of the pan once they are fluffy and brown on both sides! There you have it, your super-fluffy homemade cookies.
Fry into Garlic Knots
Garlic knots add spice to canned biscuits. To prepare, remove the biscuits from the can and cut them into half by cutting through the middle into 16 half circles. Roll the halves into ropes about 7 inches long and tie each rope into a knot.

Next, mix ¼ cups melted butter, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and herbs of your choice. Add some Parmesan cheese and mix carefully. Afterward, rub the mixture on the knots and put them in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes. Your garlic knots are ready!
Make Doughnuts out of Canned Biscuits
If you love doughnuts, then you’ll love this method! Remove the biscuits from the can and cut a hole in the middle of each. Once your biscuits form the “doughnut shape,” fry them in hot oil or use an air fryer.

Once fried, let the excess oil drip off and coat them with powder, cinnamon sugar, or a chocolate glaze. You can also try the doughnut holes, so nothing goes to waste!
Stuff Your Canned Biscuits
Who loves hamburger-like biscuits? We bet you do! Well, here is your chance to make one. Cut each of your canned biscuits into half and make two circles of dough for each. Place the bottoms of the biscuits in a pan and add your stuffing—scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, anything!

Next, place the biscuits on top of the stuffing and bake for about 20 minutes until they turn golden brown. You can do this on a cookie sheet or a muffin tin; the choice is completely yours.
Fried Oreos, Anyone?
Making fried Oreos from canned cookies is quite a breeze. Start by cutting the biscuits into half so they become two circles. Press with your hands and place the Oreos you’ve dipped into milk on half of the circles.

Place the other circle of your biscuits on top of the Oreos and deep fry, air fry, or bake them.
Whip Up Some Cinamon Rolls
Ever craved cinnamon rolls but picked a can of biscuits instead? Not to worry, because you can make cinnamon rolls out of the canned biscuits! To do this, sprinkle some flour on the work surface and the rolling pin. Roll the tube of biscuits into a rectangle and cover it with sugar and cinnamon before rolling it back into the tube.

Next, cut the tube into different rolls, place them in a pan, and bake until golden brown. Now, you can finally satisfy your craving!
Make a Chicken Pot Pie
Many of us love chicken pot pie, but making the crust is hard work. Thankfully, canned biscuits make it easy! To make it, spread the pot pie filling in a casserole dish, arrange the biscuits on top of the pot pie to create a crust, and bake until the biscuits are golden.

Another method is making individual pot pies. To do this, spoon the pot pie filling into a ramekin and place one biscuit on top of each ramekin. Lastly, place the ramekins in the oven and bake until the biscuits are done.
Make Monkey Bread
Relive your childhood memories of monkey bread with canned biscuits! Get started by separating the biscuits and cutting them into four small pieces.

Sprinkle cinnamon, sugar, and your preferred dried fruits on these small pieces and place them in a cake or bundt pan. Coat with a mix of brown sugar and melted sugar butter and bake until golden brown.
Use Canned Biscuits for Pigs in A Blanket
Are you out of crescent rolls and want to make pigs in a blanket? You’re in luck because canned biscuits are here to save the day! Start by separating the individual biscuits and splitting each one in half.

Next, flatten them a little with your hands or a rolling pin. Wrap them around your hot dogs and bake. With time, the biscuits will become fluffy as they’re wrapped around the hot dogs.
Make Soft Pretzel Bites
Pretzel bites are delicious but can be a bit challenging to make. The good part? You can add canned biscuits and make it easy! To do this, cut each biscuit into four pieces and roll them into small round balls. With a knife, make an “X” shape in each ball. Boil a mix of water and baking soda and add the dough balls. The balls will float within 30 seconds.

Remove, drain, and put them on a cookie sheet, leaving some space between each. Next, rub with egg wash and large-grain salt. Afterward, bake for about 10 to 15 minutes and watch them turn golden brown. Take them out of the oven and pair them with any dips and toppings of your choice.
