How to Store Cheddar Bay Biscuits

If you have leftover biscuits, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for about 2 days. You can also freeze them for up to a month. To reheat, just warm them in the oven or microwave until they are soft and warm again.

Tips to Make Cheddar Bay Biscuits

• Make sure not to overmix the dough. This helps keep the biscuits fluffy.
• Use freshly shredded cheese for the best flavor and texture.
• Adjust the garlic powder according to your taste preference. You can add more for a stronger garlic flavor.

Variation

For a spicy twist, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some chopped jalapeños to the dough. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, such as pepper jack or sharp cheddar, to change the flavor profile.

FAQs

1. Can I use low-fat milk instead of whole milk?
Yes, you can use low-fat milk, but whole milk makes the biscuits richer and fluffier.

2. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking.

3. How do I know when the biscuits are done?
The biscuits are done when they are golden brown on top. You can also insert a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the biscuits are ready.
