Tips for Perfect Easy Fluffy Biscuits

  • Cold Ingredients: For truly fluffy biscuits, make sure your butter and milk are very cold before starting.
  • Don't Overmix: Handle the dough gently. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits.
  • Tall Biscuits: Avoid twisting your biscuit cutter when cutting out the dough. This helps them rise tall and fluffy.

FAQ

  • Can I freeze leftover biscuits? Yes! They freeze beautifully and reheat well in the oven.
  • What if I don't have milk? Buttermilk works just fine. Buttermilk can make biscuits a touch more tender.
  • Can I add herbs or cheese to the dough? Absolutely, get creative!
