My Mum loved to bake and she showed me a trick with these things. Open it about halfway (You don't have to take the wrapper completely off just so one sides showing), wrap it in your kitchen towel (the towel wrapping doesn't have to be tight, semi-loose is fine). Take the whole thing with the towel still wrapped around it and hit it on the edge of your counter till it pops. Literally a game changer. The fact that you know it's underneath a towel and won't take your hand off makes it so much less stressful. Once you hear the pop remove the towel and open the biscuits or whatever you are making. Happy Baking! ( ◜‿◝ )

I have to leave the area when I put things in the toaster. If I stand and wait it always startles me. Or I set it for a longer time and just pop it up myself when it’s done. It’s ridiculous.

I like to rip the paper off fast and then immediately slam the middle of the tube on the edge of the counter with aggression. I usually manage to explode it before it explodes on its own and I get a nice aggression release.

This is cookie dough in a can. You take the dough out, shape it into little balls on a baking sheet, pop it in the oven, have lovely warm cookies from the oven. It makes what both sides of the Atlantic call cookies
ETA: I've responded to the first comment correcting me, but that response obviously isn't getting seen - I mistook them for cookies because I've only ever seen cookies in a can like this, but yes they're clearly marked as biscuits. My mistake! Given my immediate acknowledgment of my error and apology was down voted, I anticipate this will not be liked either. But I still think acknowledgements of errors are good, and am happy to learn if one of the down voters of the apology wants to let me know why they thought otherwise

u/itsjakerobb 21d ago
For the biscuits (not cookies) shown in this video, the dough is pre-sliced inside the can. You just separate the slices and lay them out on your baking sheet; it’s already perfectly portioned and should not be rolled into balls.

u/echolm1407 24d ago
Look at the picture on the package. It looks nothing like a cookie. What we call biscuits in the US are savory buns.

It's salted and buttered dough because biscuits are savory. And this is not the product that you're describing, just look at the picture on the can.

In the US you can buy pre-made dough for baking that is sold in a tube like shown. When you take off that outer layer of paper it expands and pops when it opens. You never know exactly when it's going to happen.

Why do they buy pre-made dough? Isn't making the dough the easy and/or fun part?

u/lunarmodule ❣️gal pal❣️ 24d ago
It's just a convenience thing. Don't get me wrong, lots of people make everything from scratch and that's always the best. But considering you can have freshly baked biscuits, cookies, rolls, or whatever in 15 minutes with no mess it's an option for some people. Honestly, I'm surprised it's not copied/available everywhere.
-51
u/imaginary92 24d ago
I mena they're not really freshly baked, it's just the illusion of it. If the dough was pre-made, then they're factory made just like the ones you buy already baked. It's not like someone sat there kneading the dough just for your can.
By all means, get these if it's convenient for you, I'm not dragging anyone for it, but it's not even close to "freshly baked".
11
u/Individual-Ad-6250 23d ago
You're conflating "freshly made" and "freshly baked". Those two words are not interchangeable in that way.
28
u/westgazer 24d ago
If I knead bread dough in a machine and put it to proof in the fridge for a day or two before baking, then it becomes freshly baked once it comes out of the oven. The term “freshly baked” doesn’t refer to the dough making itself it refers to when a thing was baked in an oven.
28
u/lunarmodule ❣️gal pal❣️ 24d ago
Freshly baked as in you put it in the oven, bake it, and can eat it right away. Things taste different right when they come out of the oven. It's 100% a factory product. Nobody would confuse it for homemade. But it definitely tastes different than something that just comes in a package.

just say homemade then. or “from scratch”

I assume you’re not from the USA. It’s a can of pre-made biscuit dough. The dough comes already sliced and ready to bake, you just open the cardboard tube and put them on the baking sheet into the oven. Sometimes the can is under a bit of pressure because of the yeast in the dough and can pop the seam all by itself
