Recipe Tip
To prepare biscuits ahead of time, turn dough out onto aluminum foil that has been either floured, lightly buttered, or lightly coated with cooking spray. Roll up the foil until it is sealed, then refrigerate. Don't be surprised if your biscuits rise even higher because the baking powder has had more time to act in the dough.
