Notes
Make Ahead: Simply prepare the biscuit dough, cut out your biscuits using a biscuit cutter or glass, then freeze them separately. Once they're fully frozen, you can store them in an airtight container or freezer bag. When you're ready to bake, just place them in the oven while still frozen, and add a bit more baking time until they're fully baked and golden brown.
Refrigerate: After your biscuits have cooled, place them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to two days.
Freeze: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, let thaw at room temperature for at least an hour.
Reheating Instructions: To warm up your refrigerated biscuits, preheat your oven to a low temperature. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and heat them until they are warm to the touch and golden brown once again. Avoid microwaving them as it can make them tough.
