Tips for Making Homemade Biscuits

1. You can use 1 cup of buttermilk instead of whole milk.
2. Grate cold or frozen butter using the box grater. This way, it will be easier and faster to combine butter and dry ingredients together.
3. Don’t twist the cookie cutter while cutting the biscuits from the dough. This will help your biscuits to rise.
4. Don’t over mix the dough.

Best Way to reheat biscuits

You can reheat leftover baking powder biscuits in the oven, in the microwave, or on the stove. I prefer reheating biscuits using the oven or a skillet.

In the oven. Place leftovers on a lined with parchment paper baking sheet. Bake in the preheated to 350F oven for 5-8 minutes. Then, remove from the oven and brush with melted butter. Enjoy!

In the microwave. Cover each biscuit with a damp paper towel. Then, transfer covered biscuits to the microwave-safe container or a plate. Microwave uncovered on medium setting for 1-2 minutes. Time may depend on the number of biscuits.

On the stove. Preheat a skillet. Wrap each biscuit using aluminum foil and place in a skillet. Cover with a lid. Reheat biscuits on low heat. Flip them every 30 seconds. Biscuits will be reheated in about 2 minutes.
