Measure out your 2 cups of all-purpose flour and dump it into your bowl. Don’t pack it down! Just scoop it up with a measuring cup and level it off with a knife like a civilised baker. If you pack it, you’ll end up with too much flour, and your biscuits will be denser than a brick.
Take a moment to admire the flour. It’s just sitting there, full of potential. Kind of like you before your morning coffee—just waiting for something magical to happen. Okay, maybe that’s a stretch.
Now, we add the baking powder. Sprinkle those 3 teaspoons right on top of the flour. Don’t be shy—let the baking powder rain down like confetti at a victory parade.
