Golden Flaky Biscuits
"Flaky biscuit lovers, this is the only (biscuit) recipe you’ll ever need. We tested a lot of different techniques to achieve superior flakiness. Many of them involved chilling or careful dough handling—so as not to overwork it—but the clear winner was the stacking method. Pat out the dough, cut it into quarters, stack and re-pat. Stacking the squares builds those unbeatable layers into the very architecture of the biscuit. Nothing else will do...."
