Once you mix the flour and other dry ingredients, you need to add fat to the dough. You can start with cold butter to give your biscuits some flakiness. Cut into pats, not cubes. Use your hands, smoosh the butter into the flour quickly and make flat leaves. This will keep the butter pieces larger and the biscuits will turn out flakier.

You can really just roll out the biscuit dough. Although, for extra flakiness, you will have to pat out the dough and fold it over twice like a letter. This will help you give the biscuits a head start on its layers. You can use a sharp biscuit cutter to cut the biscuits. Don't twist and turn but cut and lift.

You will have to preheat the oven before you slide the biscuits sheet inside. A hot oven with cold butter will work wonders for your biscuits. The sudden blast of heat will trigger the first rise and puffiness. Make sure you don't take them out too soon. The more golden they look on top, the more flavour they get.

Sure, freshly baked biscuits right out of the oven taste the best than the ones that are a day old. But, you can just freeze them well and then reheat the biscuits straight from the freezer, wrapped in a foil. You need to reheat the biscuits at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
