Storage Tips
To keep your Condensed Milk Biscuits fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can stay delicious for up to a week, making them a great make-ahead snack. If you want to extend their shelf life, consider freezing them. Simply place the cooled biscuits in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag once solid. They'll be ready to enjoy whenever you need a sweet treat.
When you're ready to enjoy your frozen biscuits, simply thaw them at room temperature for a few minutes. You can also warm them in the oven for a few minutes to restore their fresh-baked taste. This way, you always have a delightful snack on hand, perfect for unexpected guests or a quick afternoon pick-me-up.
Nutritional Benefits
While these biscuits are undeniably sweet, they also provide some nutritional benefits. The use of condensed milk adds a touch of calcium and protein, making them a more satisfying treat compared to typical cookies. Additionally, butter contains healthy fats that can help with satiety, which means you can enjoy these biscuits without feeling guilty about indulging.
Remember, moderation is key. Enjoying these biscuits as part of a balanced diet can be a delightful way to satisfy your sweet tooth. Pair them with a piece of fruit or a handful of nuts for a more rounded snack that provides energy and enjoyment.
