Ok. I have a serious problem and I need your help! I cannot seem to make good breakfast biscuits,unless they come from a can. I know, totally pathetic right? I have used different recipes, different tips etc. and my biscuits always stay flat~I have not worked the dough too much, used buttermilk, bought new baking powder,put them close together in the pan, stood on my head while they bake~nothing helps(Ok, I didn't stand on my head...but if it would help, I might.) Charlie, my brother-in-law, makes the biggest, fluffiest biscuits and that's what I am after here, not these flat,listless looking creatures I turn out. So! Can anyone out there in the cyber world give me any tips? The recipe I used today assured me these would be the lightest, fluffiest, most wonderful biscuits, because it was her Southern Grandmas favorite recipe passed down to her. I think she is lying. If it wasn't for Charlies biscuits, I would be convinced that fluffy biscuits were some kind of urban legend that everyone talks about, but no one can actually prove ( you know, the whole "my southern grandma who has been dead for fifty years"made them!) My husband loves biscuits and I am failing terribly here.Whack and bake just isn't going to cut it.My gravy isn't much better, but that's another post altogether. So pretty, pretty please, if you know anything about biscuits, please leave me a comment!
