This looks like a very good recipe for Angel biscuits. I plan on making up a batch of these. I do not think that if you store the dough in the Refr. that they have to come to room temp. The hot oven will make the yeast rise. Hope this helps you. Cajungranny

I read recipe reviews to see it the recipe is any good. Is it? Do these biscuits taste good? Are they worth making?

The reason to have it at room temperature is because of the yeast in the recipe. Canned biscuits don't use yeast. Also, my copy shows 400 degrees, so either it was fixed, or your copy had an extra digit typed in.

I don't think you need to have dough at room temp. If you use canned biscuits, the dough doesn't need to be brought to room temp before baking. Also, you can bake just what you need of the biscuits and freeze the rest on a cookie sheet. Just put them in a freezer bag once they are solid then take out what you need later. Its the same as the freezer biscuits you buy at the store.

I buy yeast in granulated form in a jar. Is there a conversion from cake to this form?

The instructions call for preheating the oven to 4009 degrees!! At least it tells you in the final step to cook at 400 degrees. Charmokie

Thanks, Butterbean! No idea what the "s" was for, so we have removed it and updated the recipe to make it more clear. Thanks for catching that - our readers are our best Editors!
