Notes

Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months. To reheat, wrap the biscuits in foil and bake in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.

If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for a few minutes until it curdles, and then use it in the recipe.
