Common Causes of Lopsided or Leaning Biscuits:
Uneven Cutting or Shaping : If your dough isn’t rolled out evenly or your cutter isn’t straight, some parts may rise more than others.
Overworked Dough: Excessive handling can make dough tough, leading to uneven rising.
Incorrect Oven Temperature: A too-low temperature can slow rising, while a too-high temperature can set the outside before the biscuit fully rises.
How to Keep Your Biscuits Standing Tall
Cut the Dough Evenly: Roll dough to an even thickness and use a straight cutter without twisting.
Handle the Dough Lightly: Mix and knead just until the dough comes together to keep it light and flaky.
Check Your Oven Temperature: Use an oven thermometer to ensure the correct temperature for even rising.
Final Thoughts: Perfecting Your Biscuits
By focusing on even cutting, gentle handling, and proper oven temperature, you can achieve beautifully straight, flaky biscuits every time. A few simple adjustments are all you need to enjoy perfect biscuits without the tilt.
