If you're looking to buy some comfort food to enjoy at home, a bakery in your neighborhood can be a good place to visit. While it might sell all sorts of baked goods that fit into the comfort food category, one product that you'll almost certainly find are biscuits. This popular southern fare is enjoyable to eat in all sorts of different ways. A lot of people enjoy serving biscuits with meals that have gravy, as you can sop up the gravy on your plate with the biscuit. Alternatively, you can serve them with butter or jam. Here are some biscuit varieties that you'll often see at bakeries.
Plain Biscuits
If your bakery carries biscuits, you can expect that it will have plain biscuits. This is arguably the most popular type of this baked good, and many people favor it for its versatility. You can serve plain biscuits with all sorts of meals or simply enjoy them with a dab of butter as a snack at any time of the day. Plain biscuits have a rich, buttery flavor and a flaky texture. You can eat them when they're at room temperature, but placing them in your toaster oven for a short period of time before a meal will make them even more appealing.
Cheese Biscuits
A lot of people enjoy eating warm biscuits with a slice of cheese on them, but if you're a big fan of cheese products, you may wish to buy a bag of cheese biscuits. Cheese biscuits have small chunks of cheese throughout the dough, and these chunks melt as the biscuits are baked. The result is pockets of cheese in each bite, which a lot of people find enjoyable. While you can serve cheese biscuits with a meal, it's common to enjoy them as a snack — perhaps with a hot drink such as tea.
Sweet Biscuits
While the above two biscuits aren't sweet, you can expect that your local bakery sells sweet biscuits. This product can vary considerably. In some cases, the dough simply has a sweet flavor. In other cases, there will be something sweet mixed into the dough, such as raisins or blueberries. Sweet biscuits generally aren't a good fit as part of a meal, but they're a popular choice as a snack. You can butter them, serve them with jam, or eat them on their own. Check out these and other biscuit varieties at your local bakery.
