What the AI looks for in Biscuit Mixes
- Drop vs rolled
- Check whether the mix is meant for drop biscuits or for rolled and cut biscuits. Drop mixes are wetter and won't laminate into flaky layers.
- Add-ins required
- Note whether you need cold butter, milk or shredded cheese. Water-only mixes are convenient, but the ones that use butter and milk taste richer.
- Fat type
- Mixes with hydrogenated or palm shortening give a softer, more uniform crumb than ones that use cut-in butter. This shapes both the texture and how short the shelf life is.
Brands that matter
- Red Lobster: Seasoned cheddar drop-biscuit mix with a seasoning packet.
- Martha White: Classic Southern buttermilk biscuit pouches.
- Bob's Red Mill: Gluten-free biscuit and baking mix.
- Pillsbury: Mainstream biscuit and baking products.
What to avoid
- Overmixing the dough, which makes biscuits tough with any mix.
- Warm add-ins. Keep the liquid and cheese cold so the biscuits rise.
