For the second year, General Mills Foodservice is asking restaurants to showcase how biscuits play a starring role on their menus as part of the Biskies Recipe Contest. With a total of $35,000 in cash prizes on the line, the contest will accept submissions now through March 31 for original recipes that use any baked or unbaked Pillsbury biscuit product and two or more additional ingredients.

Chefs, owners and employees of commercial restaurants can showcase how biscuits shine on their menus for a chance to win cash prizes by uploading a photo of their original biscuit recipe to the contest website, Facebook or Instagram. The recipe contest will award one Grand Prize winner, who will receive $20,000, and three Runner-Up winners (one for each category: appetizer, entrée and dessert), who will each receive $5,000.

“The Biskies Recipe Contest celebrates restaurants and their best biscuit creations whether they play the leading role as an entrée, are part of a supporting cast as an appetizer or dazzle as the grand finale as a dessert,” says Chef Jessie Kordosky, a member of the Chefs of the Mills who will help to judge this year’s biscuit entries. “We can’t wait to see how restaurants showcase their creativity for biscuits that deliver a stand-out performance on their menus.”

General Mills Foodservice launched The Biskies Recipe Contest in 2023 to celebrate biscuits in all their flavors and forms. Last year’s Grand Prize winner, Veneé Pawlowski of Black Magnolia Southern Patisserie in Greensboro, North Carolina, won for her Upside Down Apple Praline Biscuit that used a Pillsbury buttermilk biscuit layered with brown sugar-roasted apples, served with bourbon buttermilk sweet biscuit ice cream and topped with bourbon caramel, pecan pralines and salted toffee.

“It’s always thrilling for us to see how our biscuit products come to life on menus,” Kordosky says. “We hope the Biskies encourage restaurant professionals to experiment with Pillsbury biscuits, which provide a low-labor way to serve great-tasting biscuits that bake up beautifully every time and serve as the foundation for a number of unique menu items.”
