Ooh I just found this thread! I just started making my own bread last week!

I read a tip that said to use soft white wheat flour. You should be able to find this in Washington state!

The low gluten in white wheat helps the biscuit to stay tender.

And use this recipe: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/any-home-bakers-here.921333/post-16021416

Do not over knead the dough!

Thank you! Just the ticket!

I got behind on this thread so I was catching up while my ham and beans were in the pressure cooker. Oh dear this is a tough thread to read when you're STARVING So I put a pan of those biscuits from the exploding can in the oven. They're lots better than the hockey pucks I've made! If anyone makes lovely biscuits, I'd love to hear about them!

Hi Sequel

Your biscuit post reminded me...
