Form and Bake the Biscuits
Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times to
bring it together, but do not overwork the dough to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
Roll Out Dough: Roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass
to cut out biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the biscuits touch slightly
for soft edges.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Serve
Cool and Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for a few
minutes. Serve warm with your favorite toppings or accompaniments.
