about selecting a pan
When making biscuits, whether you prefer a soft or a crisp exterior will determine what type of pan you use. For a soft exterior, select an 8- or 9-inch cake pan, pizza pan, or ovenproof skillet where the biscuits will nestle together snugly, helping each other stay tender, but will rise while baking. For a crisp overall exterior, select a baking sheet or other baking pan where the biscuits can be placed wider apart, allowing air to circulate and creating a crisper exterior, and brush pan with butter.
