I use pretty much only the recipe for biscuit (i find the mix a bit too sweet) and it rises enough to cut it twice so 2 layers of filling.
It really depends on how you add the flour and cornstarch to the sugar and egg mix. You need to have a gentle hand hahaha.
And yeah plain flour.. I use the cheapest stuff you can get

here also plain flour, it doesn't rise as much as the mix, because you already put in so much air by mixing.

If you mean the biscuitrecipe on this site, it is plain flour. I have no experience how it rises.
I myself use the biscuitmix from the shop. That one rises good.
Hope my answer will help you.

Thank you....ok will wait and see if someone who used the recipe comes in

Can someone tell which flour it is please...plain or self raising.

Also, my cakes normally rise very high and i can just slice them in half and add buttercream and jam then cover with fondant etc...does the biscuit recipe do the same or would i need to make 2 and sandwich them together....
