Tips:
- Prep Your Ingredients: Before starting, measure and prep all ingredients to streamline the baking process.
- Use Fresh Cranberries: Fresh cranberries offer a brighter, tarter flavor compared to frozen or dried ones. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before mixing into the dough.
- Don't Overwork the Dough: Overworking the dough can result in tough biscuits. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined and avoid kneading or rolling out the dough.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps create flaky layers in the biscuits. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Bake at a High Temperature: A hot oven (450°F) helps the biscuits rise quickly, resulting in a light and fluffy texture.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on the biscuits while they bake. They should be golden brown on top and cooked through in the center.
- Serve Warm: Cranberry biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Serve them warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.
