Knead about 10-15 times, be careful not to over-knead or the biscuits won't rise properly and will be dense. Flatten the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit or round cookie cutter to cut biscuits out of the dough. Carefully bring the scraps together and cut biscuits out of the remaining dough.Bake the biscuits on a non-stick or lined cookie sheet for 10-12 minutes. Enjoy while warm.Makes six 3-inch biscuits
