• There's two things to remember when making biscuits.
• -Keepthings cold so the butter does not melt.
• The process of cutting the butter into the flour actually coats the flour with a light layer of grease to prevent it from absorbing liquid and creating gluten-- which will make the product tough and more bread like.
• If the butter starts to get soft while working it into the flour then refrigerate the batch for 20 mins before going on.
• -Workfast and gently.
• Only mix as much as necessary to do the job.
• Over working dough develops gluten.
