• Mix all ingredients together just until all the flour is moistened. Do not overmix.
• Turn the dough out onto a very lightly floured surface and knead 4 or 5 times - no more.
• Pinch off portions of dough a little larger than a golf ball.
• Roll the dough into a ball, then press to flatten into a disk.
• Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet or skillet with the edges touching.
