For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the dough. If you don't have shortening, you can substitute with cold butter, cut into small pieces. Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing will result in tough biscuits. For best results, use cold ingredients. This helps create a tender, flaky biscuit. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking for a richer flavor and golden color.
