How Do You Make Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits Every Time?

The Tale of the Dense Biscuit

You pulled out a baking sheet, you followed the recipe step by step, and when you bit into that biscuit… it was a sad, hockey-puck of dough. It wasn’t tender. It wasn’t flaky. It was just dense. I’ve been there. In fact, that was my first three attempts at buttermilk biscuits. And here’s the good news: once you understand a few simple rules, you can turn out golden, buttery layers every single time.

Am I Ruining My Biscuits By Twisting The Biscuit Cutter?

Imagine this: It’s a special morning—maybe Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, or a lazy Sunday. The kitchen smells of melting butter and promise. You’ve lovingly prepared a batch of buttermilk biscuit dough, folding it gently to create those all-important layers. You grab your favorite heart-shaped cutter, press it into the soft dough, give it a little twist to make a clean cut, and place the perfect heart on your baking sheet.
