Chef's Notes:
Biscuits can be made ahead of time and frozen. To freeze, scoop biscuits onto a plastic lined cookie sheet. Freeze about 3 hours or until firm. Remove biscuits from baking sheet and place in airtight freezer bag. Freeze up to 1 month.
When ready to bake frozen biscuits, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place frozen biscuits 1 1/2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown, Serve warm.
