### **Tips for Perfect Soft Lemon Biscuits**
To ensure your soft lemon biscuits turn out perfectly every time, keep the following tips in mind:
1. **Use cold butter:** Cold butter creates flaky layers, so don’t skip this step. It’s one of the keys to achieving tender biscuits.
2. **Don’t overmix:** Overmixing the dough will result in tough biscuits. Stir the dough just until it comes together.
3. **Don’t twist the cutter:** When cutting the biscuits, press the cutter straight down into the dough and avoid twisting. Twisting can seal the edges and prevent the biscuits from rising properly.
4. **Space the biscuits properly:** Place the biscuits close enough together on the baking sheet to encourage them to rise upwards, but leave a little room for airflow.
5. **Serve warm:** These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when they are soft, warm, and buttery.
