1 can refrigerated biscuits
.

I read this before.... can anyone explain to me what that is and how can it be substituted??

 

[texasgirl]

Well, it's refrigerated in a cardboard canister. It's dough that is for biscuits. They are already cut into about 8- 1/2" thick circles and you just put them in the oven and cook for about 10 minutes and VOILA, biscuits )
You can substitute it with homemad biscuit dough, I would imagine.

thank you, texas.... I think it would work without the biscuits...

 

[Ishbel]

And, I'm not a hundred per cent sure, but believe that American 'biscuits' are not European ones - they are more like Scottish scones or buns, not 'cookies'!

Our biscuits are very bready.
Not sweet and cookie like.

 

[cara]

okay.... if you are ready with that, just let me know please

 

[Ishbel]

But what we call 'biscuits', Americans call 'cookies'... our scones aren't all 'sweet' - you can have bran scones, cheese scones and tattie scones (potato scones!)

 

[texasgirl]

This is our biscuits. They are small round breads that we eat with jelly or eggs and bacon or sausage.

Texas, that is what I found when I googled for it... but I must admit, it didn't help me very much...
is there a recipe for it?

I wish you a good night, sleep well... it's 1.30am over here....

 

[Ishbel]

As I said, more like our scones than our biscuits

 

[texasgirl]

This one sounds good. Or this one

Ishbel, my problem is, that I have no really idea about scones, too...

tex, thanks for your links, esp. the 2nd one... they must be quite similar to our "broetchen"....

Thanks for sharing this recipe and I just wanted to say that I enjoy learning about all the differences between the states and abroad, it seems we are the same we just have different names for things!

um, broetchen are a bit different... scones look like this, like Ishbel said, it can be prepared both for sweets or savoury. Also the american style biscuits are pretty similar to this as well.

Anyways, with the above recipe I would think covering with mashed potatoes may work as well, sort of a variant of Shepards Pie!!

 

[cara]

I compared recipes, it's like the "sweet brötchen" we have over here... made of yeast and with a touch of sugar...delicious with raisins...

Thumbs up on this one.
I altered just a little. I didn't put all the tomato sauce, about 1/2, and added mustard with the ketchup and put sliced pickles on top then the bisuits. My guys liked it, so, I'll be making it again.

Thanks vermont!!
