Tips:

  • Use cold butter: This will help to create a flakier biscuit.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the biscuits from spreading too much.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: This will help to create a crispy crust.
