Preparation, uses, and tips
Serve biscuits warm with honey; stuff with traditional (or soy)
sausage and scrambled eggs for a breakfast
sandwich.
Buying and storing tips
A few bakeries may carry biscuits, but they’re often baked at home. Ready-to-bake
biscuit dough or mix is available refrigerated, frozen, or on grocery shelves. Choose the
whole-grain variety whenever possible. Store cooked biscuits wrapped in plastic in the
refrigerator to prevent molding, and use within a day or two.
Varieties
Biscuits are traditionally made with white
flour, but a few whole-grain versions are available.
