Yum, These look Great! did you know that when you use a biscuit cutter you should just push it straight down, but NOT twist it and it will make your biscuits rise higher?! Apparently twisting it pinches the dough down and keeps it from rising all the way. Old tip I picked up when I worked at the Restaurant as a kid.

How long is the mix good for? Do you just store it in the container in your cabinet or do you have to refrigerate it?

I was wondering how long the mix is good for and do you have to store it in the refrigerator?

I'll be making this when I replenish my flour supply this week. And then I'll make Just Middles for my family. What a yummy weekend it'll be.
