Butter

Before baking: Lightly brush your biscuit dough with melted butter for a golden brown crisp, or place thin pieces of cold butter between slices of dough for added flakiness.
After baking: Brush melted butter or olive oil on the biscuits or spread on a herby compound butter. You can also mix up some hot sauce with honey and butter and slather it on top.

Stuffing

Taking a moment to stuff your biscuits can help elevate both their appearance and flavor. You can stuff your biscuits with shredded cooked brisket and BBQ sauce.
Or, you can create something similar using shredded cooked chicken, cooked bacon, and cheese. You can also stuff your biscuits with sweet spreads like jam, Nutella, or chocolate.

Gravy

For the ultimate comfort food, top your biscuits with some homemade gravy. Simply brown some savory pork sausage, add your flour, milk, and spices, and let it thicken.
You can also experiment with other gravies and sauces like a rustic chestnut and mushroom gravy or a zesty tomato gravy to create a delectable meal.

Sweeten

Dust the biscuits with cinnamon sugar or drizzle honey right after baking to add a sweet, caramelized layer. You can also whip up a glaze using powdered sugar and milk.
Alternatively, top your biscuits with homemade jam or layer them in a pan, top them with a Nutella spread, and bake until golden brown. Frost them with cream cheese.

Breakfast

Whip up some scrambled eggs and load them onto each half of your freshly baked biscuit. Crumble some creamy chèvre cheese over the eggs and sprinkle them with fresh herbs.
Top it with slices of avocado and a sprinkle of sea salt. For something more indulgent, try using canned biscuits to replace traditional bread in your favorite breakfast casserole.
