FAQs
1. Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
Yes, you can substitute regular milk for buttermilk. To mimic buttermilk, add a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of milk and let it sit for a few minutes.
2. How long can I keep the biscuits?
If stored properly in an airtight container, the biscuits can last up to three days at room temperature or longer in the fridge.
3. Can I freeze the dough?
Yes, you can freeze the unbaked dough. Prepare the biscuits, then place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag and store for up to two months. Bake straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
