Can I make these biscuits gluten free?

Yes! We made these gluten free many times and they tasted great! The flour blend you use will make a big difference however. We had the best texture and flavor with King Arthur Measure for Measure. The Namaste brand from Costco did not work at all.

3 ways to store biscuits

How To store biscuits at room temperature

Place in a zip-top bag lined with a paper towel. They will keep at room temperature for 3 days.

How To store in the refrigerator

Biscuits will keep really well in the refrigerator in a paper towel-lined zip-top bag for up to a week! Feel free to warm in the microwave for 10 seconds before eating.

How to freeze biscuits

Biscuits will keep well in the freezer! Be sure biscuits are completely cooled. Simply place biscuits in a zip-top bag (no paper towel this time) and place in the freezer. Remove one or two biscuits at a time and reheat in the microwave for 15-30 seconds. They will keep in the freezer for 2-3 months. Be sure to date the bag.

Here at The Oven Light, we are always looking for ways to cut cooking time in half (or more!). We use shortcuts that don’t sacrifice flavor, we’re just getting smarter with our time. You won’t find “dump” meals here, but rather an approach to cooking that is mindful and intentional with time AND taste.
