  • I use my biscuit cutters (large one) and make tea biscuits. For biscuits, spread dough on floured area and roll gently into a circle. Cut biscuits (makes approximately eight biscuits. Place on cookie sheet and cook for approximately 10 - 15 minutes at 350 F.
  • Remove biscuits, place in basket that has a clean tea towel in in, cover and serve warm.
  • OR: for something different, roll out dough gently into a circle on a floured surface. Place in round cake pan and score the top gently into 6 pieces.
  • Bake in medium hot oven at 350 F for 12 - 20 minutes.
