    Everyone here forgetting that this makes it dense and not fluffy otherwise we’d have put literally everything conceivable into a waffle iron.

      Are you sure? Waffles made in a waffle iron are fluffy so just because it’s made in a waffle iron doesn’t mean it can’t be fluffy.

        Waffle batter normally has baking powder in it to cause it to rise, or the egg whites in it have been whipped to make it fluffy.

        Bay biscuits… probably don’t have as much baking powder in them as they’re pretty dense when you dollop out the dough and they don’t rise much in the oven.

        So while you can make fluffy things in a waffle iron, just because you make bay biscuits in a waffle iron doesn’t mean they’re going to be fluffy.

          They’re not as fluffy as waffles, but they’re denser even out of a waffle iron. A waffle iron doesn’t really compress what’s in it, it just moves the batter around into veins, so that veins hold the fluffiness so I don’t see why it would suddenly be too dense just because it’s made in a waffle iron. The whole point of waffle irons is to get a combo of fluffy and crispy.

        Depends on iron really. Where I live, we have those that actually press the dough, not just enclose it, hence the name IRON.

          hence the name IRON.

          I’m pretty sure waffle irons and clothes irons (and branding irons, and soldering irons) are called “irons” because they were historically just specially-shaped chunks of cast iron.

            Iron presses, or squishes anyway. Although just the name itself is not clear really. In my mind am equating it to iron for ironing clothes, so you press the dough into shape.

    Take Jimmy Dean sausage meat, the one in the plastic tube, and spread it over a sheet of cheddar bay biscuit dough. Roll it into a log and slice it at a half inch thick spirals. Bake in the oven at 350 freedom until golden brown. Dip the top in the supplied seasoning prepared as directed. Enjoy cheddar bay biscuit sausage rolls.

      You are just baking from scratch, but more it’s expensive and less healthy.

      My man, wait until you discover spices. You can make anything “spicy” or “garlic” flavored.

        If you hear “sausage cheddar biscuits” and think, “well that sounds unhealthy!” while clutching your pearls, then you don’t understand what’s going on here.

          By reading a recipe really quickly and making your own, it will taste better and be healthier and cheaper. That’s the point.

            Your point is stupid because no matter how you make a sausage cheddar biscuit loaf, it’s going to be unhealthy.

            Less processed? Yes. More tasty? Maybe. More healthy? No. Easier? No. Faster? No. Cheaper? Negligible.

    Sounds great. I use it for a bunch of stuff… breakfast pizza crust, casserole topping.

    Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
