Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier biscuit, make sure your baking powder is fresh. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute it with regular milk mixed with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Avoid overworking the dough to keep the biscuits light and airy. If you want to add flavor, consider mixing in some herbs or cheese, which can complement the biscuits well.
