Tasting! Pillsbury Simply Buttermilk Biscuits
June 30th, 2010 • 34 Comments | Leave a Comment »
Pillsbury needs to warn people before they sell this stuff. Simply Buttermilk Biscuits are a train wreck of loveliness that will morph your dainty chewing jaw into an extra wide eating receptacle that swallows biscuits whole.
That happened to me.
This light ‘n fluffy biscuit is 99.99% irresistible. Its moist and goes down easy – no dried up chunks to get stuck in your throat as you scream for water because no one filled up the jug.
My biscuits looked even better than the picture on the package. I inhaled 4 of them before dinner with the idiotic notion I would only eat one. And they’re 100 calories each, so you do the math.
You are invited to be extra ridiculous and add a happy smathering of melted buttery goodness like I did. I am a white flour carb-avoider, but I do not regret the Simply Buttermilk Biscuit experience. It’s got no High Fructose Corny-ness and no artificial flavors or colors; and it’s the best packaged biscuit to ever enter my Food Trap. All the others should be left on the store shelf to grow moldy with envy.

oh man, these look good. I wish they were whole wheat, but hey, 100 cals each, and good ingredients? sounds like a keeper!

I can only imagine how much more delicious these would be as whole wheat.

Sounds like my kind of thing. So thanks God they don’t sell those here, they would doom me!

Only 100 calories and taste good? Wow, that is amazing. Now you just need to add some sausage and gravy to the mix.

@amanda, they would not longer be 100 cal if you add sausage and gravy… See? This kind of foods are sneaky! I can’t even begin to imagine the evil engineering this products needs. Like “So, what do we add to make them forget they already had 3 pieces? LSD, you say? Great thinking, Bob!”

Lion meat has 879 grams of protein per bite. And high fiber in the hairy-mane. So yes. eat it.

My husband always buys regular Pillsbury biscuits so I’m going to have him get these instead. They look great. And it must be said: The container is much prettier than the regular version.

@Josie,
Growing up, we had a Brita jug too. It seemed like there was always only like 1/4 cup of water in that stupid thing. Not even enough for 1 glass. lol

Oh dear. I suppose that I could introduce them to my southern in-laws while we’re visiting next week. Of course they would only ADD to the simple carbohydrate feast available most days. Maybe I won’t.
They do sound good though.

These look so good! Ive had other types of fridge biscuits and always loved them. We used to have them when I was a kid. Mmm with butter would be so good.

I buy these by the bushel bag full at Sam’s Club. The daughter inhales them plain, which is a little gross in my book but since I have never actually tried one I wouldn’t know. I’ve never cared for biscuits but after reading this I might just have to try one or four.

These are the best biscuits in the world, made with whole wheat flour. The only biscuits I can bake and everyone eats them without butter or jelly! They want them in the morning and at night. I can’t bake enough of them. I kinda feel like I’m giving my kids something healthy. From Texas, Amy Beth

350 mg sodium for ONE biscuit?! With a pat of butter (90-95 mg sodium per tablespoon) you’d have nearly reached 25% of your daily sodium intake. What’s the rest of the meal? Water? The piccie in the magazine looked interesting but 350 mg sodium turned me off. Does make more for you, though.
