Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Buttermilk Magic 🥛
    Ensure your buttermilk is at room temperature for more even mixing and fluffier biscuit texture. Cold buttermilk can lead to dense, tough biscuits.
  • Butter Swimming Technique 🧈
    When pouring the melted butter over the biscuits, ensure even coverage by using a slow, circular pouring motion to create the signature 'swim' effect.
  • Herb Freshness Hack 🌿
    Chop herbs just before adding to the butter mixture to maximize their essential oils and flavor intensity. Use a sharp knife and avoid bruising the herbs.
  • Flour Sifting Secret 🥣
    Sift your flour and dry ingredients together to break up any lumps and create a more uniform, lighter biscuit texture with better rise.
  • Cowboy Butter Infusion 🔥
    Allow the cowboy butter to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before using to let the flavors fully meld and develop a more complex taste profile.
