Tips:
- Choose the right caraway seeds. Look for caraway seeds that are whole and free of any debris. If you can't find whole caraway seeds, you can also use ground caraway seeds, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Toast the caraway seeds before using them. Toasting the caraway seeds will bring out their flavor and aroma. To toast the caraway seeds, simply place them in a dry skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until they are fragrant and slightly browned, about 2 minutes.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the biscuit wedges. A sharp knife will help you to get clean, even cuts. If you don't have a sharp knife, you can also use a serrated knife, but be sure to saw gently to avoid tearing the biscuits.
- Bake the biscuit wedges until they are golden brown. The biscuit wedges should be baked until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and fluffy and tender on the inside. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the biscuit wedges warm. The biscuit wedges are best served warm, right out of the oven. You can serve them with butter, honey, or your favorite jam or jelly.
