What's the right call when a family recipe just doesn't work anymore?

My grandmother's biscuits were legendary in our family, but last Thanksgiving they came out like hockey pucks even though I followed her handwritten recipe exactly. Did I mess up somehow, or is it time to admit the recipe needs updating and start adapting it with modern flour and butter?

Honestly, that's rough, I totally feel for you. Ngl, you're probably not messing up, it's more like the ingredients themselves have changed over time.

Wait, which ingredient changed the most? Was it the base flour or is it more about how they process stuff differently now?
