My mom's 'secret' to fluffy biscuits is just using frozen butter

She grates a whole stick into the flour, and it makes the biggest difference for flaky layers. Anyone else have a weirdly simple trick that actually works?

Grating frozen butter is a total game changer for pastry. It keeps those little fat pockets solid until they hit the oven, which creates steam and lift. The same trick works wonders for pie crust too.

Try grating cold butter into flour for biscuits. It gives you that perfect flaky texture without overworking the dough. Honestly, it makes a huge difference.

Oh for sure, grating the butter totally changed my biscuit game too! I tried it after seeing a video and honestly the texture was night and day different from my old method where I'd just cut it in with a pastry blender. Now I keep a stick in the freezer just for baking days lol.
