Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use cold shortening to achieve flaky layers in your biscuits. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute it with regular milk mixed with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Try adding herbs like rosemary or thyme for an extra flavor boost. Ensure your baking powder is fresh for optimal rise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 1 day before baking. This allows the flavors to meld and makes it convenient for quick baking in the morning.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky to handle, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a workable consistency. Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this can lead to tough biscuits.
How can I tell when the biscuits are done?
The biscuits are done when they are golden brown on top and have risen nicely. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of baking.
