Notes
- Storage: Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They’re best enjoyed fresh!
- Freezing: You can freeze the unbaked biscuits. Just place them on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, and then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
- Pairing: These biscuits are perfect alongside soups, stews, or salads. They also make a great addition to a brunch spread.
- Serving Warm: For the best flavor and texture, serve the biscuits warm right out of the oven.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for a couple of hours before baking.
