Cate, if you see a good, clean cut edge using your scalloped cutter (rather than edges that are squashed), then it's fine. If your biscuits aren't rising much, you might want to check your recipe; your flour; your oven, to make sure it's preheating correctly (give it plenty of time to preheat); and if you're using baking powder, make sure it's fresh enough. There are lots of reasons biscuits don't rise well, with cutting being just one. One more thing: Don't roll the dough too thin; I like my dough about 5/8" thick for a nice, tall biscuit. Good luck — and if you need more help, call our baker's hotline: 855-371-2253. Good luck! PJH@KAF
