Cooking Tips

Be sure to use cold butter! You can even stick it in the freezer prior to cutting it up. Use a grater or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into small pieces and incorporate it into the dough quickly. This will help your biscuits to have those flaky layers you want.

Be careful not to overmix your dough, mix just until the wet and dry ingredients are combined. This will keep your biscuits tender.

When cutting your biscuits, press straight down without twisting. Twisting will seal the sides and not allow the biscuits to rise properly.

To keep your dough from sticking to everything, spread a light coat of flour on the table and your hands. Don’t be afraid to get a little messy, if you don’t have flour all over you when you’re finished you didn’t do it right!

When placing the biscuits in the skillet, let them love on each other! Place to where the biscuits are touching.
