Pssstâ¦ Hereâs another great thing about freezing biscuits: bake only as many as you need. Looking for 3 or 4 biscuits for your empty-nester dinner? Youâve got âem. Bake the biscuits for 8 minutes in a preheated 475Â°F oven. Theyâll look half-baked; thatâs OK.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Now, you can go two ways here: bake the biscuits right away; or freeze, bag, and bake at a later date. To enjoy biscuits right away, brush their tops with milk or melted butter, if desired. Bake them for 5 minutes, then turn off the oven. Leave in the oven for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until theyâre golden brown.
