Costco is expanding its bakery department with a staple Southern comfort food. In early August, the wholesale club introduced its first-ever in-house Southern style Buttermilk Biscuits (item #208379). Baked fresh daily in the warehouse bakery, the new drop brings classic home-style baking to the club's massive pastry cases just in time for late-summer brunches and back-to-school breakfast prep.
Each package contains 10 large biscuits for $6.99, making them an affordable option for feeding a crowd or meal-prepping for the week.
The Recipe & Fan Reactions
Made with real buttermilk, the oversized biscuits are crafted to deliver a rich, buttery flavor with a tender interior. Popular Costco influencer Laura (@costcohotfinds) broke the news on social media, praising the new bakery find as "buttery, fluffy, and tastes just like homemade." As with many new warehouse drops, the internet's reaction was swift and colorful:
- The Fan Praise: Satisfied shoppers applauded the freshness, with one commenter noting that Costco missed an obvious opportunity by not selling tubs of sausage gravy right alongside them in the bakery aisle.
- The Sarcastic Critics: Skeptical social media users poked fun at the visuals in clips, joking that the biscuits looked "dryer than the desert" or sturdy enough to use as car tires.
- The Balanced Take: Experienced bakers countered that traditional Southern biscuits are intentionally structured to absorb wet toppings like sausage gravy, honey, or berry preserves without immediately turning soggy.
How to Serve Them at Home
While delicious served warm with a simple pat of salted butter or a drizzle of honey, these bakery biscuits serve as a blank canvas for several quick meals:
- Sausage Gravy & Biscuits: Split and toasted, then smothered with warm, creamy sausage gravy for a classic Southern breakfast.
- Crispy Chicken Sandwiches: Layered with crispy chicken cutlets, dill pickles, and hot honey to build a quick morning sandwich.
- Easy Strawberry Shortcake: Warmed up and topped with juicy macerated strawberries and fresh whipped cream for a low-effort dessert.
- Pot Pie Toppers: Placed directly on top of a bubbling chicken pot pie filling before baking for a golden, flaky crust.
Whether you plan to smother them in gravy or build ultimate breakfast sandwiches, the 10-packs are currently rolling out to participating Costco bakeries nationwide.
