Biscuit dough is a versatile, pre-made dough product commonly used for baking fluffy, tender biscuits. It typically consists of flour, baking powder, salt, shortening (or butter), and milk or buttermilk. The resulting texture, when baked, is light and airy, with a slightly crisp exterior and a soft, flaky interior. Unbaked, it has a smooth, pale appearance. Pre-made biscuit dough simplifies baking, offering convenience and consistent results for homemade-style biscuits and other baked goods. You can find biscuit dough readily available in refrigerated cans or tubes at most grocery stores.

Unbaked biscuit dough is highly perishable and should be stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Keep it in its original packaging or an airtight container to prevent drying out. For longer storage, biscuit dough can be frozen. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then place it in a freezer bag. When ready to use, thaw in the refrigerator before baking according to package instructions.
