So I have been attempting biscuits for a couple of weeks now, looking to add them to my cafe's baked goods selection. I have been using a Southern Buttermilk recipe and it works pretty well, but only if I bake the biscuits straight away. If I freeze the unbaked biscuits and then try to bake them later, they do not rise nearly as much, maybe only increasing 10% as opposed to the 50% that occurs when I bake them "fresh." Any ideas? Thanks.
They might be drying out in your freezer. Make sure they're VERY well wrapped (plastic, then foil); and only keep frozen for 2-3 weeks before baking. Good luck - PJH
