Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead: You can prepare the dough ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for up to 2 hours before baking. Just remember to let it warm up a bit before rolling.
Storing Leftovers: If you have any biscuits left, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat them gently in the oven to restore their warm, flaky goodness.
Flour the Surface: Don’t be afraid to dust the surface with flour as you work with the dough to prevent sticking. It’s all part of the cozy process!
Homemade Buttermilk: If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of milk and letting it sit for a few minutes.
