Tips:
- Use cold butter: This will help to create flaky layers in the biscuits.
- 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 in the oven.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: This will help to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
- Serve the biscuits warm: Shrewsbury biscuits are best enjoyed when they are warm from the oven.
