Using 3-inch round cutter, cut out biscuit. Transfer to ungreased baking sheet, spacing 1 inch apart. Gather dough scraps; pat out to ¾-inch thickness and cut out additional biscuits.

Tips: Build a better biscuit

1.      Use chilled butter; it will distribute more evenly throughout the biscuit dough.

2.      Don’t substitute regular milk for the buttermilk: slightly acidic, buttermilk adds tang and makes biscuits tender.

3.      Don’t over work the dough. For a light, fluffy biscuit, be sure to mix all of the ingredients together just until the dough is moist, and knead the dough gently just until it holds together.
