Tips for Perfect Biscuits
- Don’t Overmix: Stir the dough just until the ingredients are combined to avoid tough biscuits.
- Use Cold Butter: Melted butter should be cooled slightly before adding to the baking dish to ensure a good texture.
- Check Early: Start checking the biscuits at the 20-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
Variations
- Cheesy Biscuits: Add 1 cup of shredded cheese to the dough for a cheesy twist.
- Herb Biscuits: Mix in 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite herbs (like rosemary or thyme) for a savory flavor.
