I like to pour out a small pile of flour on the counter nearby so I have easy access to more flour for my hands, the rolling pin, or the cutter.Īfter rolling out, you will cut out the biscuits with a biscuit cutter or cookie cutter.

Many recipes will tell you to mix the dry ingredients separate before adding any liquids, which is a great idea. Make sure the dry ingredients, specifically the salt and baking powder, are well incorporated into the flour so you don't have patches of saltiness in your biscuits. I like to mix all of it together with my bare hands, as I just feel like I get all of it mixed better and can tell how evenly the ingredients are distributed.

Note that you don't want melted butter - you just want it softened so it's easier to handle and mix together with your dry ingredients.
