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.
Then place them in a plastic freezer bag or container and freeze them at zero degrees Fahrenheit for up to three months. Whether you need three biscuits or a dozen, simply pull out some biscuits when you need them and bake them at 425 F for eight to12 minutes. Another option is to prepare the ingredients ahead of time, but mix them at the last minute. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and any other dry ingredients in one bowl.
