FAQ

1. Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?

Yes, if you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes before using it in the recipe.

2. Can I make the biscuits ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the biscuit dough and cut them out, then place them on a baking sheet and freeze. Once frozen, transfer the biscuits to a resealable plastic bag. When ready to bake, simply place them on a baking sheet and bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

3. How do I store the leftover biscuits?

Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. You can also freeze the biscuits in a resealable plastic bag for up to one month. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.

4. Can I add other ingredients to the biscuit dough?

Certainly! Feel free to customize Jack’s biscuit recipe by adding shredded cheese, herbs, or cooked and crumbled bacon to the dough for extra flavor. Just fold in your desired additions before patting the dough and cutting out the biscuits.
