Is that Roberts brand? A red-background logo of some kind? They make
regular dinner loaves (you thaw/let rise, and then bake) and also
dinner rolls. I don't know if I've ever seen plain biscuits, frozen.

I've been using a Cuisine at Home buttermilk biscuit recipe lately but
I don't have it with me - here's one that's very good:

Old-fashioned Baking Powder Biscuits

Sift together:

2 C. flour 5 T. butter
1 T. baking powder 3/4 C. milk
1/4 tsp. salt

Blend butter into dry ingredients with a pastry blender. Add milk
using a fork, and mix only until all flour is moist. Knead lightly in
the bowl about 5 times. Put on floured board, roll out 1/2" thick,
and cut out biscuits. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake about
10-12 minutes at 425 deg. F., or until light golden brown.
Brush with melted butter while hot.
