I was ruining my grandma's biscuit recipe for years without knowing it

I always just scooped the flour straight from the bag with my measuring cup. Last month, my cousin watched me do it and said, "Grandma always fluffed the flour first, then spooned it in." I tried it her way and the dough was completely different, way lighter. My biscuits finally stopped being dense little rocks. Has anyone else had a family recipe fail because of one tiny step you were skipping?

What else did you get wrong, you think?

Look at it this way, @jana_hart18. Most "life plans" are just guesses. People think they'll be married by 30 or have a certain job, and life just happens. Calling it all "wrong" feels too heavy. It's just different. Maybe the goal wasn't wrong, just the timeline.

Just my entire life plan, no big deal.
