Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your buttermilk is at room temperature before mixing, as this helps activate the yeast. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute with milk mixed with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. For a twist, try adding herbs or cheese to the dough for extra flavor. These biscuits are versatile and can be enjoyed with a variety of spreads, including a savory Hot Artichoke Spread.
Serving Suggestions
These Easy Angel Biscuits are perfect alongside a hearty soup or salad, making a great addition to any meal. They pair beautifully with a rich pasta dish or even breakfast items like scrambled eggs. For a sweet treat, try serving them with honey or jam. Also, consider serving them with a side of Muffin Rolls for a delightful brunch spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving to keep them from becoming soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Just be sure to let it come to room temperature and rise for about 30 minutes before rolling out and cutting into biscuits.
What if I don't have RapidRise yeast?
You can substitute regular active dry yeast, but you'll need to activate it first. Mix it with warm water and a bit of sugar, letting it sit until frothy, before incorporating it into your dough mixture.
How can I make these biscuits sweeter?
To add a touch of sweetness, mix in a tablespoon of sugar to the dough. You can also brush the tops with honey or a sugar glaze after baking for a sweet finish.
