Instead of being topped with gravy, these fluffy biscuit halves are dipped in french toast batter, cooked to a crisp golden-brown and dusted with powdered sugar. This results in a dish that’s part biscuit, part French toast, part beignet and tastes kind of like a funnel cake — that you can get away with eating for breakfast.
