4. Turn dough onto a floured surface, gently pat and fold the dough a few times to build layers (about 4–5 folds).

5. Pat to about 1-inch thickness and cut biscuits using a biscuit cutter or glass.

6. Place biscuits in a buttered cast iron skillet or close together on a baking sheet (they rise higher when touching).

7. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until tops are golden.

8. Immediately brush with melted butter after removing from oven.

 Tips for “Billion Dollar” Fluffiness:

• Keep your butter cold until mixing.

• Don’t overwork the dough.

• Let biscuits touch slightly when baking for a taller rise.
