Mix the dough just until everything is moist. Do not over mix or you will have tough biscuits.

Dough

Sprinkle flour onto your work surface, dump out the dough and sprinkle the top with a little flour. Pat it down into an oval shape.

Oval

I make my biscuits pretty thick.

Thick Biscuits

Use either a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out your biscuits. If you have extra, place them on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper, place it in the freezer until they’re frozen and pop into some Ziploc bags to use later. You can take them straight from the freezer to bake just like the Pillsbury frozen biscuits.

Biscuits to Freeze

Bake for about 15 – 18 minutes or until golden brown.
