Tips:

Choose the right flour: All-purpose flour is the most common flour used for cut-out biscuits, but you can also use cake flour or pastry flour for a more tender biscuit.
Keep your butter cold: Cold butter will help to create flakier biscuits. If your butter is too soft, it will make the biscuits tough.
Work quickly: The longer you work the dough, the tougher the biscuits will be. Work the dough just enough to bring it together.
Chill the dough before rolling: Chilling the dough will help to make it easier to roll and cut.
Use a sharp cutter: A sharp cutter will help to create clean edges on your biscuits.
Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown: The biscuits are done baking when they are golden brown on top and the edges are slightly firm.

Conclusion:

Cut-out biscuits are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little practice, you can create beautiful and delicious cut-out biscuits that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a fun and easy baking project, give cut-out biscuits a try.
