  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help to develop the flavor and make the biscuits more tender.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: This will help to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
  • Don't overbake the biscuits: Overbaking the biscuits will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are golden brown.
