- Stack and fold - Using a rolling pin, lightly roll the dough. Fold the dough into thirds, bringing the two sides over the center. Then, the top and bottom sides are in the middle (see video). Just like closing a box!! Repeat this once more or twice more to create more folds.
- Cut - Finally, roll the dough again to about 3/4-inch thickness, and using a 3-inch cookie cutter, cut about 6 to 8 biscuits.
- Finish - Place the biscuits on a parchment or silicone-lined baking tray. Brush the tops of each biscuit with milk or more buttermilk.2 tbsp Milk
