Quick, easy, and a perfect summer side!
These biscuits are so easy to make – there is no kneading involved and you don’t need an electric mixer, you could make them with just your hands and a couple minutes!
They are also super versatile, I have made them both sweet and savoury! My favourite way to make them savoury is to mix in some cheddar cheese and herbs, then brush the tops with garlic butter for a Red Lobster dupe. They also make a great sweet treat if you split them in half and add some strawberries and whipped cream.
The most important factors to getting a flaky biscuit with lots of delicious layers are:
- Have cold butter! Refrigerating before popping them in the oven will make sure that butter is cold when it goes in the oven so it converts to steam and makes layers
- Flatten dough, cut it in half and stack it. Repeat 2-4x to create the layers
- Make sure you don’t fully incorporate the butter into the dough, you should still be able to see very small (pea-sized) chunks of butter. These little pockets of butter are what will allow for layers to form!
