My issue hasn’t so much been the recipe as much as the altitude. They’re great at 4500 ft like hockey pucks at 9000. I use a cast iron Dutch oven and charchol.
Based on this my dough is waaay to dry...Also too much handling for the altitude. Too much handling makes for tough biscuits. Best I ever saw made, the dough could flow like lava. smacking down on one side made a ripple that ran to the other side. That lady sure knew how to make them. My daughter married into a Southern family that meets for breakfast every Sunday morning. She is still not allowed to make the biscuits because she doesn't have the knack.

That was my original inquiry. Though that has not really been answered I have learned much.At altitude, the water evaporates much too quickly as the boiling point of water is lowered. Baking at altitude is a skill that living here in the lowlands of Missouri I have not acquired.
What changes need to be made for cooking at altitude?
