Works for me. I’m not asking for trouble so I take the easy way out. My mother and one sister made great “baking powder biscuits” without blinking and I was smart enough not to try it!
My late wife was a very good cook but she couldn’t do biscuits. Neither can my Daughter. Now my Grandchildren are excellent on biscuits and any other bread.
I had an uncle once. He was asked if the biscuits were made with water. He said yeah, and I have water gravy to go over them.
