Notes: Hints for making biscuits
1. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture looks like corn meal so that the shortening particles will be thoroughly mixed
out the mixture for flakiness and tenderness
2. Make sure you have the correct portion of milk to flour Too much makes the dough soggy
3. Undermixing.... in a coarse texture with large air holes.
4. Too much mixing or handling in any step of the biscuit making will result in a tough heavy and low volume biscuit
5. Knead dough gently
Because dough becomes too stiff to stir, kneading is necessary to combine the ingredients thoroughly
Kneading adds to the lightness and flakiness of the biscuit
6. Flour biscuit cutter before each cutting by dipping into the flour and tapping against the edge of the bowl
For even sides cut straight down.
7. Do not get too much flour on the cutting board, rolling pin or cutter
