How to Store, Reheat, and Make Ahead
Room temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. They will soften but remain delicious.Dairy & Eggs
Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat before serving.
Freezer: Cool completely. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheating (oven – best method): Reheat at 300°F for 5-7 minutes. The exterior will crisp back up.
Reheating (microwave – fastest): Microwave for 15-20 seconds. The bites will be soft, not crispy. Still delicious.
Reheating (air fryer): 300°F for 3-4 minutes. The exterior gets nice and crisp.
Make ahead for a crowd: Assemble the biscuit bites (cut, butter, sugar) and place them in the muffin tin. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Bake fresh in the morning. Add 2-3 minutes to the bake time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade biscuit dough?
Yes. Use your favorite buttermilk biscuit recipe. Roll the dough to ½-inch thickness. Cut into small rounds or squares. Proceed with the recipe.Food
Can I use crescent roll dough instead of biscuits?
Yes. Unroll the crescent dough. Pinch the perforations together to seal. Cut into small squares. Roll into balls. Proceed. The texture will be slightly different (flakier, less fluffy).
Why are my biscuit bites dry?
Overbaked, or your biscuits were old. Pull them out when they’re just golden. Check at 10 minutes.
Why are my biscuit bites soggy?
Too much butter or too much cinnamon sugar. Use a light hand. Shake off excess sugar before baking.
Can I make these in an air fryer?
Yes. Preheat air fryer to 330°F. Place the coated dough balls in a single layer in the air fryer basket (you may need to work in batches). Cook for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Can I make these savory?
Absolutely. Omit the cinnamon sugar. Toss the dough balls in melted butter mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, and grated Parmesan. Bake as directed. Serve with marinara or ranch.
What’s the best way to get clean, even cuts on the biscuits?
Lightly flour a sharp knife. Stack 3-4 biscuits. Cut straight down (don’t saw). Clean the knife between cuts.
