How do I bake my frozen biscuits?

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (still oven) or 325°F (convection), with the rack in the center position.

2. Place frozen biscuits 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper sprayed with cooking spray OR place on a silicone baking mat.

3. Brush top with milk or cream.

4. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, baking time will vary depending on your oven.

5. Rotate the baking tray (turn it front to back, 180 degrees) half way through baking (15 minutes from start)

6. You can test the biscuits for doneness by gently pushing your index finger against the side of the biscuit. It is done if it lifts up easily without splitting in the middle and will feel light as air.

7. When done, the biscuits should be nice and golden brown on the top and will have risen almost double their height or even spill over to one side.

8. If you purchased biscuits that have a frosting or dusting (e.g. cinnamon bun, mexican hot chocolate), glaze the biscuits after they have cooled for about 1 minute. The heat from the biscuits will spread the glaze all over the top nicely.

9. Enjoy your biscuit bender!

How do I reheat my biscuits?

You can heat up your biscuits in an oven or toaster oven at 275-300°F for 10-15 minutes. (If refrigerated or frozen, be sure to bring the back to room temperature before heating.) Be careful with Cinnamon Bun Biscuits and Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Biscuits-- just keep an eye on them!

How long do the biscuits last?

They keep well on their own for a day or two.

If keeping longer, store in an airtight container or Ziploc-type bag. Biscuits last for at least 2 weeks in the refrigerator and at least a month in the freezer. Bring them back to room temperature before reheating with the above directions.
