Notes and Tips:
Use cold ingredients, especially butter, for flaky biscuits.
Don't overmix dough to prevent tough biscuits.
If you don't have buttermilk, make a substitute by mixing 1 cup milk with 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice.
For extra-flaky biscuits, fold dough in half and re-roll out before cutting.
