Thanks for making this recipe, Robin! It sounds like the problem may have been too much flour. It would lend to a dense heavy texture and a lack of rising. If you don't prefer to measure your ingredients by weight, we've found that scooping flour with your measuring cup compacts the flour, leading to dry, heavy baked goods. When viewing the recipe by weight, you'll see that each cup of flour weighs 4 1/4 oz. To achieve this, it's helpful to fluff the flour with a spoon or whisk, sprinkle it into your measuring cup, and scrape off the excess. I hope this helps! Annabelle@KAF
