Yes, it is 1.25 C flour EACH for a total of 2.5 cups. Do make sure you are measuring it correctly. Flour should be measured by lightly spooning it into the measuring cup until it overflows, and then leveling it off with a knife. If you just dip the cup into the flour bin then chances are you're getting a lot more flour than you intended. Liquid ingredients should be measured in glass measuring cups.
And don't forget the common-sense rule ... if it's too dry, then put in less of the main dry ingredient (flour in this case), and if it's too wet then put in less of the main liquid ingredient. You can always add more later but you can't take it out.
I have made these a million times and they always turn out yummy. The only modification I usually make is that I use all white flour. I am not sophisticated enough for the whole-wheat pastry flour.
Keep trying, they are well worth the effort!!
