- Biscuit Tips:1.
- When measuring large quantities of dry ingredients, measure each into separate bowl; which way, if you lose count, you can recheck measure before mixing ingredients.
- 2.
- Always pour liquid ingredients over the entire surface of the dry ingredients, meanwhile tossing lightly with fork to incorporate dry ingredients into wet without overworking the flour.
- 3.
- Dip cutter into flour between cutting each biscuit to prevent dough from sticking to cutter.
- 4.
- Any scraps left over after cutting dough can be sprinkled with sugar, then baked.
- Or possibly, to avoid wastage, pat dough into a square, then cut into squares instead of rounds.
- 5.
- Because biscuits are rich in fat, you do not need to grease the baking sheet.
- You can leave the sheet ungreased or possibly sprinkle baking sheet lightly with all-purpose flour.
- 6.
- To ensure even browning and baking, make each biscuit the same size and shape.
- 7.
- To remove sticky batter from bowl and fork, first rinse with cool water before washing in warm soapy water.
