Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the biscuits will be. Use unsalted butter, pure vanilla extract, and good-quality rolled oats.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the biscuits tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the biscuits hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven: This will help them rise evenly.
  • Don't overbake the biscuits: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. Bake just until they are golden brown on the edges.

With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of these classic biscuits that are sure to please everyone.
