![]() ![]() Lastly, your biscuits may not have risen because I botched the recipe I posted somehow. This little tidbit is common knowledge for me b/c I've been making biscuits all my life, but I need readers like you to help point out my mistakes when I don't stress important facts like that. ![]() Also, the butter can get too warm from your hands during kneading, so you want to make sure that it is ice, ice cold. From my understanding, the cold butter reacts to the heat and the other ingredients which causes air pockets to form thereby causing the biscuits to rise. I keep my flour in the fridge and even put my butter in the freezer for a few minutes before I plan to make biscuits. Another reason why they were flat may be because your ingredients weren't cold enough, especially the butter. Did you use self-rising flour? If not, try again and see if that works, and if you don't have self-rising flour, use 2 cups COLD all purpose flour, 3 tsp baking powder, & 1 tsp salt. Thanks for your comment! The original recipe calls for self rising flour which already has baking powder and salt in it. I believe these two ingredients are what makes this recipe different than all others and what takes it over the top. These can be left out, but I don't recommend it.
