The
recipe has these notes: Since this is a large recipe, you can
make these ahead. Bake biscuits for 5 minutes (until set but not
browned), remove from oven, cool, wrap and freeze. To serve, remove
what you need and bake at 400°F on a lightly greased sheet
for about 10 minutes or very lightly browned.
