  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough.
  • Roll the dough out evenly: Rolling the dough out unevenly will result in unevenly cooked biscuits.
  • Cut the biscuits straight down: Cutting the biscuits straight down will prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Place the biscuits close together: Placing the biscuits close together in the pan will help them rise higher.
  • Bake the biscuits at a high temperature: Baking the biscuits at a high temperature will help them rise quickly.
  • Don't open the oven door during baking: Opening the oven door during baking will cause the biscuits to fall.
