For the flakiest biscuits, use very cold butter and milk. You can even chill the dry ingredients before mixing. Avoid overmixing the dough, as this will develop the gluten and result in tougher biscuits. For softer-sided biscuits, place them close together on the baking sheet. For crispier sides, space them further apart. Leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
