Canned Biscuits to Dinner Rolls

[Barriehie]

Anybody ever take canned biscuits and roll them into balls and then bake them like pull apart dinner rolls? Did it work?

I’ve used them to make monkey bread before. Pretty much the same thing.

Good deal, thank you. I need some dinner rolls but I'm out of gas for the kitchen anymore today.

Biscuits, in a can.

More like a cardboard tube than a can, but they’re always called canned biscuits.

A couple of words - these are meant to mimic homemade American biscuits (of biscuits-and-gravy fame), but they really don’t. They’re not better or worse, just different.

Also, even though the instructions say to break the tube with a spoon, I’ve never seen anyone do that ever. The “traditional” way is to just give them a good hard whack on a sharp edge somewhere, like a countertop edge, and you’ll be rewarded with a nice, solid WHUMP! as the tube expands out.

Pillsbury (and others) have a whole line of tube doughs, from biscuits to pizza dough…cinnamon rolls to French bread. The pigs-in-blankets I’d made for NYE used their tube crescent roll dough, and MrsT used the same for her chicken pot pie last night.

Bought ready-made dough in a cardboard tube container 'can' - American biscuits as in scones served as a savoury side, like a bread roll.

Sounds similar to this
We used them sometimes at home and you banged that cardboard thing against the side of the table

There's croissant dough like that too - called crescent rolls (as the word croissant is unpronouncable to many ) and cinnamon roll/bun dough too

Never done it with bought dough, but should work fine if you place them together snugly touching each other in a lightly oiled/greased/buttered small baking pan or dish brushed with milk or egg wash and bake as per temperature on box

I'm too lazy to make the rolls from scratch but want them to look homemade...

The sister of a friend of mine peels them in half horizontally and uses them for stew dumplings. The whole family loved them, thought they were homemade, and she would never give anyone the recipe or let anyone in the kitchen when she made them. One day, my friend came home unexpectedly, walked into the kitchen not knowing her sister was "making" dumplings and caught her.

I'd say the closest European thing to an American biscuit is a scone
