Biscuits could be the unsung hero of the quick meals world. Positive, they’re empty energy, they’re excessively buttery whereas by some means nonetheless being dry as a bone, and oftentimes they’re as stale because the “jokes” I’m assuredly gonna try on this assessment… however I don’t care as a result of I’m a fan of everybody’s.
Whereas biscuits have thrived as breakfast breads and hen sides, I can’t recall many cases of them being utilized in a quick meals dessert. That’s till now with Popeyes’ new Chocolate Chip Biscuits.
That is huge information, as a result of I love these biscuits from Popeyes!
Once I noticed that these new biscuits have been about to drop, I used to be burning with anticipation. Sadly, so was my native Popeyes, as a result of it actually burned down. Yeah. It’s gone. Kinda felt like a foul omen.
Fortunately, it occurred in a single day, and there have been no accidents, however driving by the charred husk of the restaurant actually made me lose my urge for food.
… for a pair days. I discovered the subsequent closest Popeyes and snagged one. The dough should go on.
Chocolate Chip Biscuits are principally what you suppose they’re. Properly, not what our British readers suppose they’re. They’re considering of cookies, and these aren’t cookies. Popeyes’ Chocolate Chip Biscuits are normal biscuits dotted with chocolate chips and topped with candy icing. I believe our mates in England would possibly name these “scones?”
It’s humorous as a result of I used to be absolutely anticipating this to style like a scone. An American scone, I assume? Ya know, these arduous, misshapen muffin… issues. They’re high quality. I’d’ve been happy with that, however Popeyes did one thing fairly distinctive right here by simply plussing up its normal biscuits.
Mine was heat, candy, and salty. Extremely salty. I believe it could have been pulled from the saltiest bin within the joint, and as a sodium addict, I kinda liked that. It tasted like a mistake, if I’m being trustworthy.
The crispy salted base of the biscuit was counterbalanced by the candy generic icing on prime nearly completely. “Salty-sweet” followers ought to undoubtedly be glad, even when theirs isn’t as seasoned as mine.
Now, I say that, however you’ll discover how I didn’t spotlight the chocolate. The chips are presupposed to be the celebs of the present, and so they kinda get misplaced. These aren’t bursting with chocolate taste. It’s there, however I believe the dry biscuit batter dehydrated the chocolate, and the icing was so candy it didn’t give the chips room to actually shine.
I assume I used to be in the end disenchanted in how gentle the chocolate was. Actually, it wasn’t premium chocolate anyway, so possibly it was for the very best. I kinda want mine was a bit softer as nicely, nevertheless it in all probability labored out higher structurally. A softer biscuit would’ve been a crumbly, sticky mess.
Popeyes’ Chocolate Chip Biscuit is imperfect, however I nonetheless loved the stability, and I believe it’s distinctive and attractive sufficient to chase your hen dinner with. It’s too unhealthy they aren’t open early as a result of these would in all probability make an ideal breakfast.
I say give ’em a strive, however simply make sure that your native Popeyes remains to be standing first.
