Biscuit Rings

To make a biscuit ring on a casserole make half a batch of dough.  About a half an hour before your casserole is finished cooking take it out of the oven and artistically plop dough atop the thing.  Make a nice little circle of dough.  During cooking it will expand and you’ll end up with about 75% coverage.  That’s perfect.  I use biscuit rings in the following recipes:

• Chicken Pot Pie
• Salmon Casserole
