Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Kitchen Secrets Push the biscuit cutter straight down into the dough, trying not to twist as you cut, and cut biscuits as close together as possible. You can lightly press—but don’t knead—leftover dough scraps together to cut out a few more biscuits. They may be slightly uneven, but they’ll taste just as good!
