For the flakiest biscuits, ensure your shortening and milk are very cold. Avoid overmixing the dough, as this will result in tough biscuits. If you don't have a biscuit cutter, use a sharp knife to cut square biscuits. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking for a richer flavor and a beautiful golden color.
