Tips:

• For fluffier biscuits, make sure to use cold ingredients and don't overmix the dough.
• If you don't have cayenne pepper, you can substitute 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
• You can also add other ingredients to the biscuits, such as chopped herbs, spices, or cooked vegetables.
• Serve the biscuits with your favorite sides, such as soup, chili, or gravy.
