Here’s a guide to baking and reheating District Biscuit Co.'s Famous Buttermilk Biscuits, crafted to help you get them just right, every time.

### Baking District Biscuit Co.'s Famous Buttermilk Biscuits: Step-by-Step

Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, these instructions will help you achieve biscuit perfection with frozen dough:

1. **Preheat Your Oven to 425°F:** The right temperature is essential for creating a biscuit that rises well and has a golden crust. Make sure your oven is fully preheated before the biscuits go in.

2. **Prepare Your Pan with Parchment Paper:** Line a sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.

3. **Arrange the Biscuits:** Place your frozen biscuits on the prepared sheet pan, spacing them at least one inch apart. This spacing allows air to circulate, giving each biscuit room to expand and bake evenly.

4. **Bake for 15 Minutes:** Let the biscuits bake at 425°F to start. This high heat jumpstarts the rising process, creating those iconic flaky layers.

5. **Lower the Temperature and Rotate the Pan:** After the initial bake, reduce the oven to 400°F and rotate the pan. Bake for another 12-14 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. This gentle finish at a slightly lower temperature helps the insides bake through without over-browning the tops.

6. **Cool and Enjoy:** Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes before enjoying. This short cooling time allows the biscuits to set and finish cooking.

> **Pro Tip for Convection Ovens:** If you’re using a convection oven, reduce all temperatures by 25°F to prevent over-baking. Keep an eye on your biscuits—every oven has its quirks!

### Reheating Biscuits to Perfection

While freshly baked biscuits are always ideal, District Biscuit Co.'s recipe makes it easy to enjoy leftovers that taste just as delightful as day one. Here’s how to keep them at their best:

1. **Storage:** Store biscuits in the refrigerator for up to 30 days in a sealed container or Ziplock bag, or freeze them for up to six months. This way, you'll always have a biscuit ready when the craving strikes.

2. **Preparing to Reheat:** Remove biscuits from the freezer at least two hours before baking, or from the refrigerator about 30-40 minutes before you’re ready to warm them.

3. **Reheat in the Oven for Optimal Flavor and Texture:**
- Wrap the biscuit in foil and place in a 280°F oven for 10-15 minutes.

4. **Reheat in an Air Fryer for a Quick Fix:** Place the biscuit in the air fryer at 280°F for about 8 minutes, checking after 6 minutes for that perfect texture. The air fryer’s circulating heat helps recreate the original crispiness of the biscuit’s edges.

5. **Skip the Microwave:** Although convenient, microwaving biscuits often leads to a chewy, uneven texture. Stick to the oven or air fryer to keep the biscuit’s delicate crumb intact.
