Chef's Notes
Listen closely, culinary explorers! The secret to a legendary southern biscuit lies entirely in the temperature of your ingredients. Keeping your shortening chilled ensures those magnificent pockets of steam form properly during baking, yielding flaky layers that will make you weep tears of pure joy.
Pro Tip
Never, under any circumstances, twist your biscuit cutter when stamping out your rounds! Twisting seals the edges of the dough like a stubborn vault door, preventing the steam from lifting your biscuits sky-high. Press straight down with the confidence of a monarch, lift straight up, and watch the magic happen.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you dare to skip the overnight chilling phase or use room-temperature shortening, your dough will melt into a sad, greasy puddle of architectural failure before it even sniffs the oven heat. Do not rush the chill, or the biscuit gods will forsake you!

Royal Court Comedy
Why did the biscuit go to the therapist? Because it felt a little flaky and just couldn't rise to the occasion!
The Culinary Science
When the cold pieces of shortening melt inside the blazing 425 degrees F oven, they release water as steam. Because the gluten network in your dough has been rested and developed just right, it traps that steam, creating countless delicate, fluffy layers of absolute perfection.
