Recipe View Let the biscuits cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.

For best results, use cold ingredients. This helps create a tender, flaky biscuit.
Don't overmix the batter! Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough biscuits.
For a richer flavor, you can substitute half-and-half or heavy cream for the milk.
These biscuits are also delicious with jam, honey, or as part of a breakfast sandwich.

    I've tried other shortcake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The biscuits are so light and fluffy.
