Tips & Variations
- Flakier biscuits: fold the dough over itself 2–3 times before cutting.

- Garlic herb biscuits: mix in 1 tsp garlic powder and 1 tsp chopped fresh herbs.
- Storage: store in an airtight container for 1–2 days; reheat in the oven for freshness.
I can also give a crockpot or skillet version for biscuits if you want.
