"She gave me her recipe, but, alas, I have YET to master it. I think she forgot an essential item or whatever."

If you aren't already doing so, try using White Lily Flour to avoid tough biscuits! Good luck!

[LonePalm]

If you are having problems with tough biscuits, switch to cake flour. Cake flour has the least protein and bread flour the most.

Almost all self-rising flour is low protein flour as its most common use is making biscuits.

Type of Flour Protein Content
Whole Wheat 11-15%
Bread 12-14%
Durum 13%
00 (Doppio Zero) 11.5-13%
All-purpose 9-12%
Instant 9.5-11%
Pastry 8-9%
Self-rising 8.5%
Cake 7-8%
