Can I make cream cheese biscuits ahead of time?

There are 2 ways you can make cream cheese biscuits ahead of time. You can make the cream cheese biscuits and bake them. They will last for about 3 to 4 days when they are stored properly. The other way to make cream cheese biscuits ahead of time is to make the dough and have them ready to be baked but not baked. Unbaked cut biscuits can be refrigerated on a baking sheet, covered with plastic wrap for up to 1 day. Then to finish making the biscuits, heat oven to 450 degrees and bake as directed.

When the cream cheese buttermilk biscuits are done and you have enjoyed the biscuits with dinner, you will want to make sure they are stored properly in order to enjoy them for a few more days. The biscuits will be best at room temperature, but you do want to make the biscuits are covered well. Consider storing them in a freezer bag. If they are not covered, the biscuits will go stale and will not taste good.
