• STEP 8.Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Cooking Tips

• Make sure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces for the best results.
• Do not overmix the dough, as this can result in tough biscuits.
• If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.

Storage and Serving

• These biscuits are best served fresh out of the oven.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, wrap the biscuits in foil and warm them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes.
