How to make yummy restaurant style biscuits!?

Question

My husband likes my biscuits but still really wants restaurant style ones, like stores and restaurants use for their breakfast sandwiches! Anyone know a great recipe?

Answer 1

Use any recipe you like, the most important thing to remember about biscuits is to keep the dough soft and not to over knead it, never more than 10 folds!!!!!!!  

Answer 2
