Treat your ingredients with care...

- Milk — Use whole milk for a richer flavor and texture.
- Honey — Opt for a high-quality honey to enhance the taste of the biscuits.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra fluffiness, make sure not to over-knead the dough.
- To achieve a crispier crust, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking.
- Serve the biscuits warm for the best taste and texture.
- Experiment with different toppings such as honey, jam, or gravy.
- If you prefer a savory version, omit the honey and add herbs or cheese to the dough.

Presentation advice
Arrange the biscuits on a rustic wooden platter or a lined basket for a homely and inviting presentation. Sprinkle a touch of powdered sugar on top for an elegant touch.
