I'm sorry, but biscuit empanadas? Yes. We need to talk about these Pillsbury honey butter biscuits. OHMYGOSH. It was a total random purchase. Just on the fly. But I'd like to think it was SERENDIPITY because I had plans to stuff some biscuits with corn and onions, more butter, garlic, red peppers and chilies. And once they were all tucked and baked inside these unbelievable pockets of honey butter bliss, it's like, what? WHAT? Perfect match, bebe. Don't you want a perfect match to land in your mouth? Yes, yes you do. Once baked you have this! Happy, glorious vegetarian pockets of summer delight. You can add cheese too if you want!
