  • Keep butter very cold unless the recipe specifically says otherwise, like in my Peach Butter Swim Biscuits.
  • Don’t overwork the dough.
  • Fold the dough several times to build flaky layers.
  • Bake in a fully preheated oven.
  • Brush with melted butter after baking for extra flavor.

Professional bakers consistently recommend using cold ingredients and handling the dough gently for the tallest, flakiest biscuits.
