Has anybody got a high rising biscuit recipe? You know the ones that rise up 3-4 inches and are light and delicious?

Thanks

Scroll down to the end of the main page here, and under Kitchen, cooking there is a post about a wife's lethal biscuits. There are a bunch of great biscuit recipies in response to that post. I made the 4,3,2,1 recipie from there, and they were great! I didn't have self rising flour and without that you need to add baking powder and salt, so this recipie was perfect for me. I used whey leftover from making cheese in place of the milk, and that worked out fine. Good luck. A link to that page, just in case.

Hi Lynette - I live in a highrise, M-F, weekends in the country. Are highrise biscuits different? Use more yeast due to elevation and such? LOL. just kiddin' ya. I couldn't resist though. Carole

after going to the archives and reading the post under wifes lethal biscuits I feel better. I tried to make biscuits twice and both times they were about 1 inch high and flat. I figured everyone was right, "I am a terrible cook" I am going to try some of these out. I just got to wondering as I was typing, if I am so bad of a cook how come I am always the one who does the cooking and the food gets eaten right up?

I meant to say they were about 1 inch high and hard as a rock.or at least soft board.

Hi Lynette, probably the first thing to do for really outstanding, or upstanding biscuits is to throw away the Baking Powder you have and go buy a new supply, at a store that has a lot of customers, thereby a good turnover on supplies. It can and does go bad and it is cheap. Maureen at Ravens Roost in Alaska
