Note

For best results, handle the dough as little as possible to keep the biscuits tender and flaky.

Serve warm with butter, honey, or jam. These biscuits pair wonderfully with hearty soups or stews.

If you prefer a taller biscuit, press the dough out slightly thinner before cutting.

Ensure your oven is fully preheated to 450ðF before baking for optimal rise.
