Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Butter — Make sure the butter is softened at room temperature for easier creaming with the sugar.
  • Flour — Use all-purpose flour for the best texture and results.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a twist, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for a warm and aromatic flavor.
  • If you prefer a sweeter biscuit, you can dust the tops with powdered sugar before baking.
  • Store the biscuits in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and crispness.
