For best results, ensure the shortening is very cold. You can even freeze it for 15 minutes before using. Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing develops the gluten and can result in tough biscuits. For a richer flavor, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking. Leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
