recipe tips
Make sure the butter is cold for flakier biscuits.
Cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs for the right texture.
Do not overmix the dough to keep the biscuits tender.
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop the biscuits onto the baking sheet for uniform size.
Serve the biscuits warm for the best flavor.
Remember, the key to great biscuits is minimal handling of the dough.
