The plain flour is left to warm (dry)in the kitchen. Damp flour would clog and make the biscuits heavy. Often flour was purchased as 'raw' brown flour and bolted (pushed through a cloth) to make white flour for baking.Baking could be very labour heavy as many ingredients such as flour and sugar needed to be prepared before using.
