        <content>Once again, I'm cooking for a crowd.  I need biscuits for 45 for lunch.  Found a great recipe with cheddar and sour cream.  Can I make any of it ahead?  Freeze or refrigerate?

Thanks</content>

      <content>The usual roll and cut biscuits can be made ahead and frozen no problem. (very 'wet' recipes may not work as well) I usually make them ahead and freeze them unbaked on pans, then pop the pans into the oven an hour or so before serving, no thawing needed. 

Refrigerating uncooked biscuits should also work as long as you  make them no earlier than the night before.</content>

      <content>Thank you so much for your good advice.  I think I'll make and freeze a recipe ahead to try them early</content>

      <content>If you are making biscuits that don&#8217;t use yeast then you can successfully freeze the dough for up to 3 months :

If you&#8217;re making yeast-based biscuits or bread, you can refrigerate the dough for up to a couple of days or freeze it for longer storage:

Hope this helps!
