Notes
Substitute shortening with cold butter for richer flavor and flakier texture.
Add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for fragrant twist.
Mix shredded cheddar cheese into dough for cheesy tomato biscuits.
Use plain tomato juice or vegetable juice to adjust flavor intensity.
Add cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for spicier biscuits.
Store leftovers airtight at room temperature up to 2 days or refrigerate up to 4 days.
Reheat in 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes or microwave for 20–30 seconds.
