Carefully fold dough over filling and seal tightly.

Roll into a ball.

Tips for Perfect French Dip Biscuits

Seal Well

Make sure edges are tightly closed to prevent leaking.

Don’t Overfill

Too much filling can cause bursting during baking.

Use Lean Beef

Less grease means softer, non-soggy biscuits.

Chill Filling Slightly

Warm filling can soften dough too much.

Brush With Butter (Optional)

For extra golden tops, brush with melted butter before baking.
