Tips:

  • Proper Ingredient Measurements: Accurately measure ingredients, especially dry ingredients, using measuring cups or scales, to ensure consistent results.
  • Preparing the Wheat Germ: Ensure the wheat germ is fresh and finely ground. If it's not finely ground, you can grind it using a blender or food processor.
  • Chilling the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps it hold its shape better and results in flakier biscuits.
  • Using Cold Butter: Use cold butter straight from the refrigerator, as it helps create flaky layers in the biscuits.
  • Laminating the Dough: Laminating the dough by folding it and rolling it out multiple times creates more layers, resulting in a lighter and flakier texture.
  • Preheating the Oven: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before baking the biscuits to ensure they cook evenly.
  • Baking Time and Temperature: Bake the biscuits at the recommended temperature and time to achieve the desired golden brown color and texture.
  • Serving Warm: Serve the wheat germ biscuits warm out of the oven for the best flavor and texture.
