How Can I Freeze Leftovers?

To freeze any leftover biscuits, allow them to cool down completely on a wire rack. Then, wrap them in plastic or aluminum and place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to three months.

How to Serve Frozen Cheddar Bay Biscuits

To serve them from the freezer, allow the biscuits to thaw in room temperature. Once thawed, bake them in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
