For a richer flavor, try using melted butter instead of shortening. Ensure your yeast is fresh for the best rise. If it doesn't foam after 5 minutes, it may be too old. Don't over-knead the dough, as this can result in tougher biscuits. Just knead until it comes together. For extra fluffy biscuits, try using a slightly warmer spot to allow the biscuits to rise.
