For softer biscuits, drop 2 Tbsp. of dough into lined baking sheet. For firmer biscuits, turn the dough out onto clan, lightly floured surface and gently knead just to bring the dough to 3/4" thickness. Cut out about 12 biscuits and place on lined baked sheet. Bake biscuits for 13-15 minutes. Add additional 3-4 minutes for frozen ones. Bake until golden brown.
