settiaiI made chicken and dumplings in the slow cooker today, because it was a bleak rainy day so it seemed appropriate. The recipe itself is very basic (chicken, cream of chicken soup, an onion, butter, chicken broth, and some spices), and I cheat and use canned biscuits for the dumplings because I'm lazy.
The issue was that I had a few biscuits left over, because I needed about 10oz but Aldi only has them in 16oz packages. So I decided to experiment and attempt to make something sweet for dessert with the leftover biscuit dough, and I think it turned out pretty well.
I cut the biscuits into quarters, brushed them with some oil, popped them in the air fryer for eight minutes, dipped them in melted butter, dropped them in a bag with some cinnamon sugar, and shook it up. Then for the dip I just mixed together some powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla.
They turned out surprisingly tasty for something that I threw together in a few minutes.
