For the flakiest biscuits, ensure all your ingredients, especially the butter and buttermilk, are very cold. Do not overmix the dough! Overmixing will develop the gluten and result in tough biscuits. Folding the dough several times creates layers, resulting in a light and flaky texture. You can substitute whole milk plus 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar for the buttermilk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. For a sweeter biscuit, add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the flour mixture.
