make ahead biscuits

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

    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.

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

        If you are making biscuits that don’t use yeast then you can successfully freeze the dough for up to 3 months :

        If you’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!
