I made these for lunch today and got perfect biscuits from this recipe. I always pat my biscuit dough to about 3/4" and that always assures me of getting nice high ones. These rose beautifully for me. *Note: I don't cut and re-roll mine but just cut it once into square's as the more biscuit dough is worked the less it will rise.
