Author’s Note: Heyyyy! It’s my 300th review on this site! Hip-hip-hooray! As always, these are my own weird little opinions. Not paid or sponsored. I have no affiliation with Costco<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My heart went “pitter” but not “pat.”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do buttery biscuits make your heart go pitter-pat? Well, I have bad news for you: Costco’s Buttermilk Biscuits aren’t<\/em> made with butter. There IS “buttermilk,” but it’s listed after “sugar” in the ingredients. Not<\/em> what I’d consider a major player. These are made with combination of palm oil & palm kernel oil instead. Hmph! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is: these biscuits have fabulous<\/em> textures! I love the gently crisp exterior, and the flakey-soft interior. They’re fluffy, but rich<\/em>. This is the kind of tender density I prefer in my biscuits.<\/p>\n\n\n

And these are big boys! Enormous. Weighed on my kitchen scale, a single biscuit is a whopping 4 ounces. They’re close to 4 inches across. And mile-high rise. This leavening should get the “employee of the month” award.<\/p>\n\n\n

I also love the rustic, homemade appearance. They’re charmingly irregular. (Like me.<\/em>) Magically more delicious than mechanical-looking biscuits. Taste them with your eyes! They’re perfectly golden browned right out of the box. If there was a biscuit beauty pageant, these would win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My opinion is that there is wayyy too much sugar in the dough. It’s not quite “scone-like.” But, unnecessary. The bossy sweetness quenches some of the delicate, savory flavors. Bossy, bossy sugar! I honestly don’t taste a very distinct “buttermilk” flavor, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of those flavors, you definitely want to reheat<\/em> these biscuits before serving. I nibbled a little biscuit-bit straight out of the box when I brought mine home, and it tasted borderline awful<\/em>. Sort of a stale, dry, greasy flour taste. But baking them for 10 minutes worked wonders<\/em>. Please don’t skip that step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving the biscuits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After baking mine, I served them hot with fresh Irish butter (this is Truly Grass-Fed butter). Due to the size, these biscuits are best served as an entire meal. A breakfast biscuit. They’re too big (in my opinion) to use as “dinner biscuits.” Unless you cut them in half. Which is absolutely barbaric. Biscuit butchering! How dare you.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
