Handy Tips
- For extra flaky biscuits, try freezing the butter before cutting it into the flour.
- Make sure your buttermilk is cold to keep the dough chilled and ensure light, fluffy biscuits.
Ingredient Swaps
- All-Purpose Flour: You can use whole wheat flour for a healthier option, but the texture may vary.
- Buttermilk: If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
