For extra flaky biscuits, use very cold ingredients, including the shortening and milk. Don't overmix the dough, as this will result in tough biscuits. For a richer flavor, you can substitute half of the milk with heavy cream. Feel free to experiment with adding herbs, cheese, or other flavorings to the dough.
