TIPS & TRICKS FOR PERFECT BISCUITS

There’s nothing quite like having some homemade biscuits on hand. Whether it’s plain or fancy, just about everyone likes a biscuit with a cuppa or glass of milk. Just follow these tips for success.

PREPARATION & MIXING

Have all the ingredients out on the bench at room temperature before you start. Take care not to over-beat the butter and sugar mixture. Beat the butter until it’s smooth then add the sugar and beat until the ingredients are just combined. Add the sifted dry ingredients in two batches to make mixing easier. You might need to transfer the butter and sugar mixture to a larger bowl to make stirring in the dry ingredients easier.

STORAGE

Store biscuits in an airtight container. They must be completely cold before storing or they will soften in the container. If biscuits soften, place them on an oven tray, then in a moderate oven for about 5 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
