The dough should be about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) thick and in the shape of a square. Fold the dough in half and press it down again with your hands. Fold this paper like this twice more. These folds will give the biscuits layers, which will make them flaky.
Step 7:
After the last fold, pat the dough out to a width of 1/2 inch (1.3 cm). Cut cookies out of the dough with a round biscuit cutter. To make sure the biscuits rise equally, press the knife straight down and don’t twist it.
Step 8:
Put the biscuits on the baking sheet that has been made. Leave a little room between each biscuit. If you put the cookies close together, the edges will be softer. If you put them a little bit apart, the edges will be crispier.
Step 9:
Gather up the leftover bits of dough and gently press them together. Repeat the process of spreading out the dough and making biscuits until all of the dough is used up.
Step 10:
Put the biscuits on the baking sheet and bake them in a warm oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. The baking time can be different, so keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t get too done.
Step 11:
Let the biscuits sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes to cool, then move them to a wire rack to cool fully.
