tips to make 4-Ingredient Biscuits

• Make sure not to overmix the dough. Mix just until the ingredients come together for light, fluffy biscuits.
• Use cold butter for better texture. If you prefer, you can chill the melted butter before adding it to the mix for a flakier biscuit.
• Experiment with the thickness of the biscuits. Roll them thicker for softer biscuits or thinner for a crunchier texture.

FAQs

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour, but the biscuits may have a denser texture. You might want to add a little extra milk if the dough seems too dry.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough and keep it in the fridge for a few hours before baking. Just remember to let it warm slightly before cutting and baking.

Can I double the recipe?
Absolutely! Just double all the ingredients and adjust your baking time as needed to make sure all the biscuits bake evenly.
