Cooking Tips

• Make sure the butter is cold when cutting it into the flour mixture for flaky biscuits.
• Do not overmix the biscuit dough to avoid tough biscuits.
• For a spicier gravy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
• If the gravy becomes too thick, you can thin it out with a little more milk.
• Leftover biscuits and gravy can be stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Storage and Serving

• Store leftover biscuits and gravy separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
• To reheat the biscuits, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes, or until warmed through.
• To reheat the gravy, gently warm it in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
• Serve the biscuits and gravy hot for the best flavor and texture.
