The dough for these Refrigerator Biscuits will last in the fridge (tightly wrapped in plastic wrap of course) for up to two weeks!
The dough also freezes very well so you can always have fresh biscuits for the time it takes to heat up the oven.

Responses to “Refrigerator Biscuits”
I’m only a novice cook, however, is it supposed to be white sugar and not brown sugar??? I’ve gone ahead and baked these as per directions with 1 cup brown sugar and they look nothing like the cookies in the picture, they taste funny and took a lot longer than 10 minutes to cook.
Hi Brooke!
Recipe is correct. 🙂 Don’t squash too much. Also, you must cream the butter & sugar..
If you Squash too much when rolling into balls then only just flatten with fingers or fork. Hope this helps. 🙂
