Hmmm... Sounds like perhaps your baking powder isn't quite up to snuff? Though if you've been having these same results for 6 years, that might be unlikely. Perhaps it's the expectation of a high-rising, soft and fluffy biscuit that's the problem; these are definitely denser than a typical biscuit, packed as they are with sausage and cheese. One thing I might suggest is trying diced cheese rather than grated; grated cheese tends to melt into the structure of the biscuit itself, weighing it down a bit. Anyway, glad your family likes them, no matter their texture! :) PJH
