Notes
How to create layers in your biscuits?
Layering your biscuits is way easier than most think.
Here is how to layer your biscuits.
Roll your biscuit dough out to about one inch thick.
Fold in half and repeat.
You will do this about 5-6 times, think layers as you roll each one out.
On the final rollout, leave it at about an inch thick and then start your process of cutting your biscuits out with the biscuit cutter.
This process always gives us a flaky biscuit and creates fluffy biscuits as well.
