Tips:
- Be sure to use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a more tart and flavorful taste than frozen cranberries, and they will hold their shape better when baked.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the biscuits rise evenly and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the biscuits rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
- Serve the biscuits warm. Cranberry biscuits are best served warm, right out of the oven. They can be served with butter, jam, or honey.
Conclusion:
Cranberry biscuits are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for the holiday season. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are serving them at a holiday party or enjoying them at home with your family, cranberry biscuits are sure to be a hit.
