Perfect canned biscuits
Perfect canned biscuits are available now. We use canned biscuits when there is no time for the kneading or dough making process. But getting canned biscuits fluffy and up to their full potential is another thing.
We have used cake pans and cookie sheets to bake up these golden little beauties. But they never lived up to my expectations. Some of the biscuits didn’t rise as much as others. I could not count on a good baking result. After a while, I came to believe that it was just the nature of these biscuits to not be as light and fluffy as my imagination could conjure up.
The last time we used anything else to bake canned biscuits has been awhile. It is time to share the magic that a comal can bring to canned biscuits.

The first time my wife decided to use my comal was a defining moment. I guess that the comal was in its usual place on the stove. She picked it to cook the biscuits over the usual cake pan or cookie sheet. All the biscuits fit perfectly on it. She set it to the usual temperature and slid the comal on the usual oven rack place. The results were surprising. The biscuits rose beautifully. The rise was even on the pan.
It’s Magic!
I can not tell you the exact secret to my biscuit success. I can only guess. Maybe it’s the cast iron not heating up quickly like a cookie sheet. Maybe it’s the thickness of the cast iron and its slow heat gain characteristic that allows the biscuits more rise time before the baking process begins.
If you have a comal try it out the next time you want to bake some canned biscuits. Don’t have a comal, do you have a cast iron skillet? If you do, try it out, it may be just as effective. I can’t testify that it will work as well, but it is worth a try. Leave a comment if you’ve tried it. I’d like to hear your results.
