"Cutting out biscuits is messy, and it’s hard to find the extra time to clean up first thing in the morning.

Divide the dough into 6 portions, pat them into rounds, drop on a baking sheet, and after about 15 minutes, you’ll have buttery, flaky biscuits to slather with more butter, stuff with smoked salmon, or serve as part of a fancy Crab Benedict...."
