Tip #1 - Don't over knead the dough. Over kneading will cause the biscuits/scones to be tough.

Tip #2 - Don't twist the cutter after cutting the dough. Twisting a round cutter, while removing it, will cause the biscuit edges to seal. This will inhibit the biscuits/scones from rising.

Tip #3 - Fresh ingredients, especially baking soda and baking powder, are essential to perfect biscuits.

Tip #4 - For soft-sided biscuits, bake them with the edges touching.

Tip #5 - For crusty-sided biscuits, bake them 1/4 to 1/2 inches apart on the baking sheet.

Tip #5 - To freeze biscuits/scones place them on a wax paper lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer until frozen. Once frozen remove the biscuits/scones to a resealable freezer bag.

Tip #6 - To make them even more special, serve them with a flavored butter.
