FAQ
1. Can I use margarine instead of butter?
While you can use margarine, butter provides the best flavor and texture for these biscuits. If you need to use margarine, ensure it’s a solid form (not the spreadable kind).

2. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time. Simply wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, roll out and cut the biscuits as usual.

3. Why did my biscuits turn out tough?
Tough biscuits are often the result of overmixing the dough. When adding the milk, mix just until the dough comes together. Overworking the dough can lead to dense, hard biscuits.

4. Can I freeze the biscuits before baking?
Yes, you can freeze the shaped biscuits before baking. Place the cut-out biscuits on a baking sheet and freeze them for 1-2 hours. Once frozen, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag. When ready to bake, bake straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
