Recipes FAQ

Can I use a food processor to make the dough?

Yes, you can use a food processor to make the dough. Pulse the flour, baking powder, salt, and butter together until it resembles coarse crumbs. Then add the milk and pulse until the dough comes together.

Can I make the dough in advance?

Yes, you can make the dough in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When you're ready to bake the biscuits, simply cut them out and bake as directed.

Can I freeze the biscuits?

Yes, you can freeze the unbaked biscuits for up to 3 months. Cut them out and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze until solid, then transfer to a resealable plastic bag.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your butter is cold when you cut it into the flour mixture. This will help create flaky biscuits.
  • Use a light hand when mixing and kneading the dough. Overworking the dough can lead to tough biscuits.
  • Don't twist the biscuit cutter when cutting out the biscuits. This can seal the edges and prevent the biscuits from rising properly.
  • For a sweeter biscuit, add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the flour mixture.
