Preparation

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Forming Biscuits

  1. 4

    Shape the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick, then fold it over itself three times to create layers.

    Using a floured biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are close together for soft sides.

Baking

  1. 6

    Brush with Butter

    Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter for added flavor and to help them brown.
