- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead 3 or 4 times, just until you have a soft but cohesive dough. Don't overwork the dough.
- Pat the dough into a circle about 3/4-inch in thickness and cut out with a biscuit cutter.
- Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet; bake for 12 to 16 minutes, until risen and lightly browned.

Dough tip: If the dough seems dry and shaggy, add more buttermilk 1 teaspoon at a time just until it holds together.
Tip: Cut straight up and down—if you twist the cutter, the biscuits may rise unevenly.
