Here lately I've found myself jonesin' for a hot homemade biscuit with butter and syrup. Growing up we had lots of these! Too many biscuits for dinner promised yummy snacks the next day. My Mom would cut them in half, top with a pat of butter and broil until their golden and crispy....Y-U-M-M! Or, my husbands favorite..topped with homemade sausage gravy. The possibilities are endless.
Sure, it's easier to grab a can from the fridge, pop it open and put them on a pan (I can't say I don't do it from time to time). But there just isn't anything quite like a warm homemade biscuit (:
Once you've made biscuits from scratch, you might wonder how on earth the canned biscuits get fluffy and buttery after sitting in a can for who knows how long. I haven't got a clue.
So, I thought I would share an easy way to have biscuits on hand for half the cost... Freezer biscuits!
Find your favorite recipe for homemade biscuits. I love this recipe. After many attempts(and many failures!) I finally found a recipe that I love.
All you need to do:
~Prepare your biscuit dough
~Cut out biscuits
~Place them on a lightly floured cookie sheet
~Put them in the freezer for abut 1 1/2 hours or until they are firm.
~Take them off of the pan
~Toss them in a freezer bag and there you go!
Now, you have biscuits when you need them without all of the mess.
When your ready to use them, just take them from the freezer and bake as the recipe says.
*(Depending on your recipe and the size of your biscuits, you may have to change the cooking time. With the recipe I use it says to bake for 12-14 minutes. But for the biscuits straight from the freezer, I usually bake them for about 20-22 minutes)*
I hope you enjoy them!
