What is the secret to biscuits? ›

Use Cold Butter for Biscuits

When the biscuit bakes, the butter will melt, releasing steam and creating pockets of air. This makes the biscuits airy and flaky on the inside. We default to our Land O Lakes® Salted Butter when baking biscuits.

Cheddar biscuits may be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days depending on the humidity of your kitchen.

Use good butter and dairy

Because biscuit recipes call for so few ingredients, it's important that every one is high quality—you'll really taste the difference. Catherine recommends splurging a bit on a grass-fed butter or European-style butter (now's the time to reach for Kerrygold!).

But if you chill your pan of biscuits in the fridge before baking, not only will the gluten relax (yielding more tender biscuits), the butter will harden up. And the longer it takes the butter to melt as the biscuits bake, the more chance they have to rise high and maintain their shape. So, chill... and chill.

Having frozen biscuit dough ready to go in the freezer also means you can bake as many or as few biscuits as you want, whenever you want. So many wins! The only downside to freezing biscuits—at least, the only one my brain could come up with—is that they take about 5 minutes longer in the oven.

If you want more richness in your Red Lobster Cheddar biscuits, substitute milk or buttermilk for the water and top with more butter. Add 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning for an extra flavor touch.

Are diabetic biscuits good for you? ›

Myth 1: You need special foods if you have diabetes

Foods like chocolate, cakes and biscuits marketed towards people with diabetes may be sugar-free, but this doesn't make them a good choice. They are often still high in saturated fat and calories and the sweetener used can have a laxative effect if too much is eaten.

Do cheddar biscuits need to be refrigerated? You can certainly refrigerate them if you'd like. After all, they're loaded with dairy. However, they will stay good for about three days at room temperature.

To Store: Keep at room temperature for up 3 days in an air-tight container. To Freeze: Individually wrap each baked biscuit in plastic wrap. Place inside of a freezer-safe container or freezer bag for up to 1 month. To Reheat: Cook in the microwave for 20 seconds or in the oven at 350°F for 5-6 minutes.

English Breakfast Biscuit Sandwiches

Prepare one batch of White Lily Buttermilk Biscuits and bake until golden. Let cool slightly, then slice in half. Spread biscuits with butter and fill each one with a slice of Canadian bacon, a fried egg, sliced tomato, and sautéed mushrooms.

When baking buttery treats like biscuits, the key is to bake them at a temperature where the water in the butter turns quickly to steam. This steam is a big part of how the biscuits achieve their height, as it evaporates up and out.

The two keys to success in making the best biscuits are handling the dough as little as possible as well as using very cold solid fat (butter, shortening, or lard) and cold liquid. When the biscuits hit the oven, the cold liquid will start to evaporate creating steam which will help our biscuits get very tall.

As it turns out, adding hard-boiled egg yolks to your biscuit dough is a way to ward off an overworked, tough dough that can be the downfall of a butter-based pastry. When the trick is employed, the pastry shatters and then dissolves in your mouth quickly, tasting like a knob of flaky butter.
