Here are a few tips to make your biscuits turn out perfectly:
Keep it Cold
Keeping the dough cool and the butter from melting should be your number one goal. The colder the dough and butter, the more tender and flaky the biscuits.
Put the buttermilk, rolling pin, stirring spoon and flour mixture in the freezer for 10 minutes.
The heat of your hands will melt the butter and make your biscuits tough. Minimize how much you handle the dough when mixing and kneading.
Don’t knead or fold the dough too many times.
