Tips:
- Use rolled oats: Steel-cut oats will not work in this recipe, as they are too thick and will not absorb the liquid properly.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the biscuits tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough will help the biscuits to hold their shape and will also make them easier to roll out.
- Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown: The biscuits should be baked until they are golden brown on top and bottom. If they are not baked long enough, they will be doughy in the center.
- Let the biscuits cool before serving: Let the biscuits cool for a few minutes before serving so that they can set.
