1. 1

   "I came across a tip from a well known pastry chef. He said that if you want to get a high rise then freeze your butter and then grate it. I tried this with my biscuit recipe. I use mostly solid crisco shortening so I froze both the shortening and the butter and then grated them directly into the flour. With a spoon I turned the flour every minute or so so I would not be grating shortening on top of shortening and thereby creating a huge clump. It really did work well and the biscuits rose even more than they normally did."
