Drop the Dough
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop generous spoonfuls of the biscuit dough onto the grill or grill pan, leaving space between each one to allow for spreading.

Cook the Biscuits
Cover the grill with a lid and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on the bottom. Flip them carefully and cook for an additional 5-8 minutes on the other side.
