Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful biscuit, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough. If you don't have sweet milk, you can substitute with regular milk mixed with a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to mimic the sweetness. Make sure not to overwork the dough to keep the biscuits light and fluffy. For an even quicker recipe, you can browse more American recipes that utilize similar techniques.

Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes, or until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour, but you'll need to add baking powder and salt to achieve the same leavening effect. For each cup of all-purpose flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
What can I substitute for the oil in this recipe?
You can substitute the oil with melted butter or margarine for a richer flavor. Alternatively, you can use vegetable or canola oil if you prefer a neutral taste. Just keep the same measurement for the liquid ingredients.
How can I tell when the biscuits are done baking?
The biscuits are done when they have risen and are lightly golden on top. You can also tap the bottom; if it sounds hollow, they are baked through. Keep an eye on them while broiling to prevent burning.
