FAQs

1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can. Just keep in mind that whole wheat flour may change the texture and density of the biscuits.

2. Can I prepare the biscuit dough in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Just remember to bring it back to room temperature before rolling it out.

3. What can I do if my biscuits come out too dry?
If your biscuits are too dry, you may have overmixed the dough. Next time, be careful not to overwork the mixture. You can also add a splash more milk if the dough seems too dry before baking.
