When I know times are gonna get hectic, like this past week, I try to get a jump on a few things for the family. I like to have several homemade dishes that the boys can pop in the toaster or microwave plus be time savers. I made a batch of these biscuits and they were just what we needed for an easy breakfast. They are really yummy toasted and when you add an egg with a little sausage or bacon…you are out the door in no time!

How do you think these would be if prepared in advance, frozen and reheated for a weekend meal? Thank you!
Hey Susan!
Great question! You can absolutely prepare them in advance and freeze them. I would recommend freezing them individually wrapped in tinfoil and then put in an airtight container. You can reheat in a oven or toaster oven. I hope you enjoy the recipe, let me know how it goes!

What does 1 3/4 scant cut of milk mean?
Hey there.
Sorry for any confusion. The recipe card has been updated.

Not anything much better than a biscuit! ?
This makes only 8 biscuits?
Thanks Ad. It depends on what size cutter you are using. I used a larger biscuit ring to I only got 8 out of the dough. You can do whatever size you like.
Thanks!
~Donya
Thank you so much. I normally use a 2 1/2″ biscuit cutter and get 12 biscuits out of a recipe using 2 cups flour, so using your recipe for Cheddar Biscuits will probably get at least 15 if not more biscuits. In the picture above, your biscuits do not look very large.
How do make a biscuit better? Put some cheese on it! You nailed it Girl!
Thanks Julia! Nothing beats a biscuit, that’s for sure.
