Recipe Size Alteration

💡 If you altered the ingredients above by doubling or tripling the recipe, you may also need to change the pan/dish size and adjust the cook time.

Notes

Prep time is an estimate based on measuring the mix and portioning the dough.
Store the dry mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 months for best quality.
Refrigerate baked leftover biscuits in a covered container and use within 3 to 4 days.
Freeze baked biscuits for up to 2 months.
Do not taste the raw dough because flour is a raw ingredient and should be baked before eating.
