These biscuits are so light and fluffy and full of flavor you'll swear you're eating the famous Red Lobster biscuits!
TIPS BEFORE STARTING:
1. It's best to use a kitchen scale whenever possible. If you don't yet own a scale, these recipes are based upon 'lightly packed' measuring cups, so whether you use the 'dip and sweep' method of measuring or the 'spooning into the cup' method, always gently press down on the mix in the measuring cup and add more to fill the cup, as necessary. 1 Cup mix weighs approx. 125g.
2. Metal pans brown and crisp more than glass pans.
3. Glass pans take longer to come to temperature.
4. Ovens and pans vary, so bake times may need to be adjusted.
