Use your fingertips to knead dough.

Don't overwork dough.

Use shortening or butter for best texture.

Make certain baking powder is fresh.

Don't rush baking: Allow biscuits to brown nicely.

Contrary to popular belief, brush biscuits with melted butter After baking-not before.

Hint: To save on calories and fat, spray tops of biscuits with food release spray instead of brushing with butter-no one will ever know the difference!! (Except the scales).
