My wife and daughter came home from Girl Scout camp with a bunch of leftover Ranch dressing, so I Googled to find recipes to use it. One site suggested biscuits, so that was all the inspiration I needed. I figured I could do it with just three ingredients, the ranch dressing, flour, and baking powder. And if I do say so myself, they turned out well.

The batch shown here used about a cup of flour, and about a tablespoon of baking powder. (You could also use self-rising flour or Bisquick, and not bother with the baking powder.) Then, start adding Ranch dressing. Start with too little, mix it together (with a spoon works just fine), and keep adding until it’s the right dough-like consistency.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 Celsius).  Put lumps of dough on a baking sheet as shown at left(it doesn’t need to be greased) and bake for about 15 minutes.  The taste is actually somewhat reminiscent of the biscuits served at Red Lobster, so I hope I didn’t spill any trade secrets.

I don’t know what brand of Ranch dressing this is, but I’m sure other brands would work just fine. It might not be economical to buy Ranch dressing just to make biscuits (although, if you get a cheap enough brand, it just might be). But if you have a bunch of leftover Ranch, it’s a delicious way to use it up. And in the event of an emergency, and that’s what you have in your fridge, it would be a good option.

Bon apetit!
