Chapter 8: Troubleshooting Common Issues
Problem | Cause | Fix |
---|---|---|
Tough biscuits | Overmixing | Mix gently just until combined |
Biscuits don’t rise | Old flour or oven temp too low | Use fresh self-rising flour; check oven temp |
Biscuits too dry | Too much flour or overbaking | Measure flour accurately; bake less time |
Biscuits spread too much | Dough too wet | Add more flour, chill dough |
Chapter 9: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising?
A: You’d need to add 1.5 teaspoons baking powder and 0.5 teaspoon salt per cup of flour.
Q: Can I freeze the raw dough?
A: Yes! Freeze cut biscuits on a tray, then transfer to freezer bag. Bake frozen adding a few minutes.
Q: Can I add butter to the dough?
A: This recipe relies on cream fat, but adding cold butter will increase flakiness at cost of simplicity.
