Flakiest Biscuits<\/h2>\r\n

Immaculate Baking Organic Flaky Biscuits<\/h3>\r\nFor many, canned biscuits mean one thing: flaky layers. If you can't get enough of peeling away layer after layer, toss a can of\u00a0Immaculate Baking Organic Flaky Biscuits<\/strong><\/a> into your cart.\r\n\r\n\"This one has clear, definitive layers that are visible before you even dig in,\" explains the Test Kitchen's Ellie Crowley<\/a>. These layers are stacked between a lightly golden top and a perfectly browned and crisp bottom.\r\n\r\nWhen you do dig in, you'll find that these Immaculate Baking biscuits are full of even more flaky layers than you ever expected. Whether you're the type to peel away at this biscuit one layer at a time or just take a big bite, you'll find that these are tender with just the right amount of chew. These biscuits also have a faint taste of buttermilk\u2014a must for any biscuit if you ask our Test Kitchen. In fact, using real buttermilk is one of the best biscuit tips<\/a> our pros can share.\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop on Whole Foods\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.wholefoodsmarket.com\/product\/immaculate-baking-organic-flaky-biscuits-16-oz-b00lmc36hy\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n\r\n

Best Oversized Biscuits<\/h2>\r\n

Pillsbury Grands! Flaky Layers Buttermilk Biscuits<\/h3>\r\nIf you're looking for a big biscuit to serve alongside a hearty bowl of chili<\/a> or stew<\/a>, look no further than the classic:\u00a0Pillsbury Grands! Flaky Layers Buttermilk Biscuits<\/strong><\/a>.\r\n\r\n\"I just love the way these look,\" says Sarah Fischer<\/a> in the Test Kitchen. These oversized biscuits bake up golden and the layers are visible\u2014even before you pull them apart to dunk them into a dish of beef stew<\/a>.\r\n\r\nTearing into one of these Pillsbury biscuits, you'll see plenty of layers to compliment the flaky golden top of the biscuit. These biscuits are soft and not overly chewy. You'll get a hint of butter inside, though not much buttermilk. Overall, this is exactly what our team wants and expects of a good canned biscuit.\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop on Walmart\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FPillsbury-Grands-Flaky-Layers-Butter-Tastin-Refrigerated-Biscuit-Dough-8-ct-16-3-oz%2F10319370\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\nDon't forget to look at our collection of\u00a0the best store-bought cinnamon rolls<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\r\n

Best Value Canned Biscuits<\/h2>\r\n

Great Value Buttermilk Biscuits<\/h3>\r\nIf you're looking to save a few pennies on your grocery run (aren't we all?), pick up a tube of\u00a0Great Value Buttermilk Biscuits<\/strong> <\/a>at Walmart. These sell for about half the price of the competitors.\r\n\r\nSo what do you get when you pop open a can of Great Value biscuits? \"A very round and golden biscuit,\" according to Sarah.\r\n\r\nWhile these Walmart-exclusive biscuits lacked flaky layers like other biscuit brands, our team still found these to be very satisfying. \"The outside is thin with a good crunch to it,\" explains Sarah. This crispy exterior contains a soft, tender inside that's flavored with a bit of butter and a very slight sweetness.\r\n\r\nNo, these won't pass for homemade, but our team is certain you won't have any leftovers when you serve these up to a hungry dinner crowd<\/a>.\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop on Walmart\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FGreat-Value-Jumbo-Buttermilk-Biscuits-16-oz-8-Count%2F10533862\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n\r\n

Best Frozen Biscuits<\/h2>\r\n

Mason Dixie Biscuit Co. Buttermilk Biscuits<\/h3>\r\nWhile canned biscuits may be the most common store-bought biscuit,\u00a0Mason Dixie Biscuit Co. Buttermilk Biscuits<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>encourage you to take a stroll down the frozen aisle.\r\n\r\nThese Mason Dixie Biscuit Co. biscuits were unlike any other kind we tried. The second our team removed them from the box, they looked different: less uniform and akin to something homemade.\r\n\r\nAnd the flavors were more from-scratch as well. According to Josh Rink<\/a> in the Test Kitchen, \"This brand feels like it uses real ingredients like a homemade biscuit.\" And Josh is right: Flour, buttermilk, butter, milk, sugar, baking powder and salt are the only ingredients Mason Dixie Biscuit Co. uses. Those are the same ingredients you'll find in this top-rated buttermilk biscuit recipe<\/a>.\r\n\r\nThose ingredients are all very prominent when you take a bite of one of these petite biscuits. You get buttermilk<\/a> and butter<\/a>\u2014the two ingredients that make these baked goods so hard to resist!\r\n\r\nBefore you pick up a box, know that these biscuits aren't going to give you that canned biscuit texture or size. These biscuits are smaller and denser and not appropriate to use in a recipe that calls for their canned counterparts. Instead, a box of these is just right to serve up alongside your favorite soup or even with sausage gravy<\/a> for a hearty breakfast.\r\n\r\nAnd we won't tell if you try to pass off a package of these biscuits as homemade when you're short on time! You don't even need to defrost these before popping them in the oven.\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop on Whole Foods\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.wholefoodsmarket.com\/product\/mason-dixie-biscuit-co-buttermilk-biscuits-b0781366k3\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n \r\n

How We Sampled Canned Biscuits<\/h2>\r\nFor this taste test<\/a>, our team rounded up seven different kinds of store-bought biscuits. Did you even know there were that many brands out there? Each biscuit was baked according to the package directions and then sampled blindly. Our biscuit pros judged each in these three categories:\r\n
