Tips:

Use cold butter. Cold butter creates flaky layers in the biscuits. If the butter is too warm, it will melt and the biscuits will be dense.
Work quickly. The more you handle the dough, the tougher the biscuits will be. Mix the ingredients together just until they are combined.
Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough helps the biscuits to hold their shape and rise evenly.
Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. A hot oven creates steam, which helps the biscuits to rise quickly.
Brush the biscuits with melted butter before baking. This will help them to brown and give them a shiny crust.
Serve the biscuits warm. Biscuits are best served warm, when they are fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Caraway and aquavit biscuit wedges are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or any other gathering. With their unique flavor and flaky texture, these biscuits are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
