New Basic Sweet Biscuits

Flavorful substantial biscuits that complemented the strawberries in the shortcake. My butter was cold, but a family crisis and an 84ºF kitchen meant very warm butter by the time I was making the biscuits. Mistake number 2 was having the oven at 400 instead of 450 ºF. I should have read all of the wonderful tips in the middle of the page before making them; I would have rolled the dough twice as thin and doubled it over before cutting to make separating the biscuits in two easier. These are probably fantastic if you do all the steps properly.
