Frozen Buttermilk Biscuits is a time-saving and economical recipe for making and freezing homemade biscuits.

Frozen Buttermilk Biscuits

Do you purchase those bags of frozen biscuits at the grocery? Well, I have. I’ve purchased plenty of them! They’re so very convenient on school mornings!

The last time I picked up a bag and looked at the price I asked myself why wasn’t I making my own biscuits and freezing them? Hmmm…………..

Frozen Buttermilk Biscuits

 

Good question!

And that’s when I set out to develop a biscuit recipe that would freeze, yet fluff up when baked. I finally got it right. I know I got it right because my boys couldn’t quit raving about how good they were!! Additionally, they cost a fraction of what the store-bought biscuits costs.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 30 biscuits

Ingredients

  • 5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 and ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • ¾ cup shortening
  • 2 cups buttermilk

Instructions

  • Mix dry ingredients together then cut in shortening with a pastry cutter or fork. When flour and shortening mixture is incorporated add buttermilk and water. Stir with a large, sturdy spoon.
  • Turn out on a pastry board and knead a few times, but do not overwork the dough or it will become tough. Flatten the dough into a 1 to 1 and ¼ inch circle and cut biscuits.
  • Place on a cookie sheet, then in the freezer. (This is a very important step. If you put them unfrozen in a bag they'll stick together and be a big mess!) After they're frozen solid, remove from cookie sheet into a gallon-size, zip-top bag. Store for up to 2 months in the freezer.

To bake

  • Pre-heat oven to 425°F. Remove the biscuits from the freezer and place on a cookie sheet or cast iron pan. No need to thaw. Put directly into hot oven for 15 to 22 minutes depending on the size you made them.

    This recipe is a keeper! I never think to make biscuits until too far into the meal prep to make them, but now I have a batch already prepped.
