Shaping Biscuits

Using the plastic bowl scraper, turn the dough out onto the work surface. Bring together then flatten with a plastic scraper (A-B).

Gently pat the dough out until about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick (C).

Using the scraper and your hands, fold the dough into thirds (D-E). Repeat the folding until the dough is firm, but not tough.

Press the dough into a 4 by 12-inch (10 by 30 cm) rectangle about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Using a bench scraper, cut the dough into eight equal squares (two rows of four) (F-G).
