Re: biscuits didnt rise .... To be honest, I've never made biscuits before.
 The one thing I have read about them not rising is when you cut them out to not twist the biscuit cutter. Go straight down on the dough. Otherwise they won't rise...........I don't really know.

Re: biscuits didnt rise .... actually from what I have always read about biscuits is to be sure you DON'T knead it too much and to just barely mix it till it comes together.

Re: biscuits didnt rise .... Only knead just till it holds together. I pat it out and cut into rectangles so I don't have to reform and cut again which leads to over working and flat biscuits.

Re: biscuits didnt rise .... It could be old baking powder. You are supposed to replace it at least once per year. Some sources even say every 6 months (America's Test Kitchen, Alton Brown).
Test it by stirring a spoonful into a small glass of water. It should foam up. |

Hot or cold water (I read somewhere that BP is heat activated)? I want to test mine. Would keeping it in the freezer keep it fresh longer? I don't use BP as often as I used to. TIA |
