Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the biscuits will be. Look for fresh butter, eggs, and flour. You can also use a good quality baking powder to help the biscuits rise.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Let the dough rest before baking: Letting the dough rest before baking will help the biscuits to rise more evenly. You can refrigerate the dough for up to 2 hours before baking.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: The biscuits should be baked in a hot oven (400°F or 200°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve the biscuits warm: Tararua biscuits are best served warm out of the oven. You can serve them with butter, jam, or honey.
