Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Stuffing Biscuits

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). While the oven warms up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure your Stuffing Biscuits won’t stick during baking. This setup makes for an easier cleanup and a perfect surface for those fluffy biscuits to rise beautifully.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, dried sage, and thyme. You want these dry ingredients to be well combined, creating a fragrant base for your biscuits. Aim for an even, powdery blend that will support the light and airy texture you desire for your Stuffing Biscuits.

Step 3: Cut in the Butter
Next, add the cold, unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step is key to achieving those flaky layers, so ensure you can still see some pea-sized clumps of butter throughout the mixture.

Step 4: Add the Stuffing Mix
Gently fold in the stuffing mix and parsley into the flour and butter mixture until evenly distributed. This ingredient brings the comforting flavors of stuffing right into your biscuits, offering that cozy experience with every bite. Ensure you mix thoroughly but not too vigorously to maintain the desired texture.

Step 5: Incorporate the Milk
Gradually pour in milk, preferably buttermilk, mixing gently until a sticky dough forms. Take care not to overmix; a lumpy dough is perfectly fine. The key is to achieve a moist consistency that holds together without becoming dense, which is essential for your Stuffing Biscuits’ light and fluffy nature.

Step 6: Shape the Dough
On a floured surface, turn out the dough and pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter, cut the dough into rounds, pressing straight down without twisting to help maintain their shape. This method ensures that your Stuffing Biscuits rise evenly in the oven as they bake.

Step 7: Prepare for Baking
Place the biscuit rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for expansion. Brush the tops with melted butter, giving them that golden finish, and if desired, sprinkle shredded cheese on top for an extra layer of flavor and richness. This small touch enhances the comfort food feel of these delightful biscuits.

Step 8: Bake to Perfection
Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake your Stuffing Biscuits for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them, and look for a lovely golden brown color on top. They should be fluffy and tender when you pull them out, giving off a warm, inviting aroma that’s bound to make your kitchen smell heavenly.

Make Ahead Options

These Stuffing Biscuits are perfect for meal prep enthusiasts looking to save time during busy weeknights! You can prepare the dough up to 24 hours in advance by cutting the biscuits and placing them on a lined baking sheet. Cover the sheet tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you’re ready to bake. To maintain their fluffy texture, avoid overmixing and ensure the butter remains cold throughout the prep process. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply preheat your oven and bake straight from the fridge, adding an extra minute or two if they are very cold. This way, you’ll have freshly baked, savory Stuffing Biscuits with minimal effort and just as delicious as when made fresh!

Expert Tips for Stuffing Biscuits

Keep it Cold: Always use cold butter for the best flaky texture in your Stuffing Biscuits; warm butter can result in dense biscuits.
Don’t Overmix: Mix gently when adding milk. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits instead of the desired light and fluffy texture.
Room for Expansion: Leave enough space between biscuits on the baking sheet to allow for rising and browning; they need room to fluff up!
Customize Your Stuffing: Feel free to swap in different flavors of stuffing mix to elevate your Stuffing Biscuits. Your taste buds will thank you!
Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs can dramatically enhance the flavor. Just remember to use them in a 3:1 ratio compared to dried herbs for maximum impact.

How to Store and Freeze Stuffing Biscuits

Room Temperature: Store baked Stuffing Biscuits in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain their fresh flavor and fluffy texture.

Fridge: If you wish to keep them longer, you can refrigerate the biscuits for up to 4 days. Just be sure they are well-wrapped to avoid drying out.

Freezer: For extended storage, freeze Stuffing Biscuits for up to 2 months. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring to an airtight container or freezer bag.

Reheating: When you’re ready to enjoy, reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through. Perfect for bringing back that cozy comfort food experience!

Stuffing Biscuits Recipe FAQs

How should I store leftover Stuffing Biscuits?
Baked Stuffing Biscuits can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to extend their freshness, refrigerate them where they’ll last up to 4 days. Just make sure they are well-wrapped to prevent drying out.
