  • Transfer dough to a floured surface and shape into a rectangle
  • Fold the dough 3-4 times to create layers
  • Pat dough to ¾-inch thickness and cut using a biscuit cutter or glass

Notes

Use cold butter and buttermilk for flaky results.
Fold the dough carefully to maintain layers.
For softer biscuits, bake close together.
Substitute milk for cream in the glaze if preferred.
