All of that said, even I can admit that there's definitely a time and place for canned biscuits, namely when you're tired or busy or don't like to bake (or maybe all of the above). To help make sure you're prepared for any of those occasions, I spent a few hours driving around picking up all of the different canned biscuits I could find. Once I got home, I had a massive baking session and enlisted the help of my husband and our 9-year-old son to do a side-by-side tasting. When the crumbs settled, we had a clear winner and a list of 12 popular biscuits, ranked worst to best.

Yeah, there are 11 (not 12) biscuits here. Jump to the #1 biscuit for the backstory.Nina Elder

Pull up a seat and bust out the butter. It's time to talk biscuits.
12. Pillsbury Grands Butter Tastin' Flaky Layers Biscuits
Nina Elder
Going in, I wasn't sure that there would be a wide range of differences in the Pillsbury products, but I was wrong. In theory, it should be a good thing to have the butter flavor built into the biscuit, but that sadly wasn't the case here. We all thought this biscuit had a strange aftertaste that tasted more like chemicals than butter. Most markets carry a variety of Pillsbury biscuits, and many of those are reviewed below, so we'd suggest skipping this now.

10. Pillsbury Grands Buttermilk Flaky Layers Biscuits
Nina Elder
This option was fine, but left us all a bit hollow. All three of us found this biscuit bland and pretty one-note in flavor. It's not a terrible biscuit, but there are definitely better Pillsbury options in the refrigerator case. The layers were there, but there was no discernable buttermilk tang. That's actually something we noticed across the board: brands that touted buttermilk tasted very similar to the non-buttermilk options. Maybe buttermilk is a flavor that only comes through in a homemade biscuit? (Yes, these are the things that food editors spend their time pondering.)
9. Pillsbury Grands Original Flaky Layers Biscuits
Nina Elder
I found this biscuit on the sweet side with a honey-like taste, but it was flaky and totally passable. My husband, however, was not a fan. "It's so chewy," he said. "Like bubblegum releasing its flavor." I've been known to make similarly bizarre food pronouncements, but I didn't get that here. Gus's verdict? "They're all starting to blend together." To be fair, this was the seventh biscuit we'd tasted, so you can't blame the kid. Because of the mixed reviews on this one, I put it toward the middle-ish of the pack.
8. Great Value Flaky Jumbo Biscuits
Nina Elder
That said, very few of these options tasted truly biscuity. Matt and I had a long discussion about this (cuz of course we did) and we suspect that true biscuit texture isn't something that you can get from a can. You don't hear much about make-ahead biscuit dough and probably for good reason. All of that said, if you aren't someone who nerds out about biscuit dough this one will probably do in a pinch, though there are superior options available.

7. Stop & Shop Buttermilk Biscuits
Nina Elder
I arranged the biscuits in an 8-inch metal cake pan, which is on the small side for a cake pan. They didn't fit tightly, but I figured they'd puff up to fill the pan. Nope! These little guys stayed pretty petite, even after baking. They had a savory flavor and the texture was ok, but they didn't have a ton of flavor, and certainly no buttermilk flavor. Because this is a store brand, they're very affordable, which is a good reminder to scan the aisles for the store brands made by your local supermarket chain.
6. Bake House Jumbo Buttermilk Biscuits
Nina Elder
This Aldi store-brand biscuit was pretty solid. Again, there was no discernable buttermilk flavor, but it had a nice light texture. This is one of two biscuit options I found at my local Aldi, which was when I realized that "flaky" must be a special biscuit formulation. This buttermilk version is not labeled "flaky," so the texture is a little fluffier with larger holes instead of the clearly defined layers of a "flaky" biscuit. You'll see that we have a mix of "flaky" and non-flaky biscuits in the top 5, so which type of biscuit you like really depends on your preference.

4. Pillsbury Grands Buttermilk Southern Homestyle Biscuits
Nina Elder
After tasting our way through all of those Pillsbury options we found that we preferred the Southern Recipe versions over the Flaky varieties. We found that Pillsbury's flaky biscuits were more difficult to bake properly. They would get a little more browned than we'd like on the bottom and sometimes also the top, but still be a bit gummy in the middle. The Southern Recipe versions, including this one, had a better texture and baked up more evenly.
3. Trader Joe's Organic Biscuits
Nina Elder
Trader Joe's has entered the chat! This organic version was one of the first biscuits we tasted and set the standard pretty high. We liked the flaky layers (this one wasn't doughy in the center) and it had a nice tender texture. It was on the sweet side, so it might be better for making egg sandwiches and slathering with butter and jam instead of using for a plate of biscuits and gravy. We also think it would be a good vehicle for a leftover ham sandwich after Easter.
2. Pillsbury Grands Southern Recipe Southern Homestyle Biscuits
Is the name of this biscuit a mouthful? It sure is! But despite that, it ended up in the #2 spot. We all liked this biscuit's pillowy texture and the way it baked up nice and crisp on the outside. Matt declared it "More biscuity" and said, "I think this might be my favorite so far." And indeed this biscuit would have been crowned the winner if it hadn't been for a last-minute addition.
1. Annie's Organic Flaky Biscuits
Nina Elder
In a stroke of great luck, our dear friend Kathy was planning to go to Portsmouth to visit her dad and offered to pick up the biscuits. After all of the build-up, I wondered if they would live up to the hype, but they sure did. They were tender and flaky with a great rich flavor. They had a brown and crisp exterior and a soft and tender interior that baked up beautifully, not a gummy spot in sight. These were the clear winners and 100% worth the wait. If you can find them at a market near you (or if you have a friend as good as Kathy), then you should definitely pick up a can.
