Tips for Making Homemade Biscuits
- You can use 1 cup of buttermilk instead of whole milk.
- Grate cold or frozen butter using the box grater. This way, it will be easier and faster to combine butter and dry ingredients together.
- Don’t twist the cookie cutter while cutting the biscuits from the dough. This will help your biscuits to rise.
- 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 baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a 350F oven for 5-8 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter. Enjoy!
In the microwave. Cover each biscuit with a damp paper towel and place them in a microwave-safe container or a plate. Microwave uncovered 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.
