Plus, remember, I'm a yankee. I prefer yeast rolls. :mrgreen: :lol: :lol:
However, my grandmother, the pastry goddess did swear that you needed to use good old-fashioned lard, the kind you had to keep refrigerated, not the nuked shelf stuff.

One little tip that helps the biscuits rise well is to avoid twisting the cutter when you cut. Just press the cutter straight down without twisting and tap lightly to remove the dough from the cutter. I guess that by twisting it, the cutter creates a "seal" on the sides of the dough, keeping it from rising all the way. Of course a good recipe helps!

Sounds as if you put too much flour in them.... go by the recipe and you can't go wrong unless the recipe is wrong... and you don't cook biscuits in a hot oven.... about medium heat... perhaps 150 degrees...

All I do to make biscuits is bisquick and buttermilk. The buttermilk is the secret ingredient. Just make a soft dough. Place dough on a floured board or counter and knead a few times and then pat out to about 1/2" thickness. Cut out biscuits with a cutter or you can use a glass. I bake in a 425* oven until golden brown on top. I have fluffy biscuits every time. Good luck!!
