I've been making my grandma's biscuit recipe wrong for 15 years

I was visiting my cousin in Atlanta last month and watched her make them, and she used cold buttermilk straight from the fridge. I'd been using room temperature for a decade and a half, and my biscuits were always flat. That one thing changed everything. Has anyone else had a family recipe secret revealed like that?

Was the secret just that I can't follow basic directions?

Honestly, how much difference can cold buttermilk really make? Carter.gavin might be onto something with the secret test idea. Seems like a lot of fuss over a small detail.

Maybe the family secret was always a test to see who'd figure it out.
