This is my go-to recipe when I want something simple I can cook in a hurry. These biscuits are tender and moist, and they go equally well with chicken and gravy at dinner or spread with butter and jam for a morning snack.
I also like them crumbled up, topped with fresh-sliced strawberries and milk for breakfast.
Dust a clean countertop with flour (I often use whole wheat for dusting, just to add a little flavor). Form the dough into a ball, and roll it out until it's about 1/2 inch thick.
With a biscuit cutter or the top of a cup, cut out your biscuits. When you run out of room to cut, re-roll the remaining dough scraps. Form the last one by hand, using the last of the dough.
Bake on a biscuit pan or cookie sheet for 15 minutes at 425F, or until golden brown on top.

With a biscuit cutter or the top of a cup, cut your biscuits from the dough. When you run out of dough to cut, form all the scraps into a new ball and roll it out again. Repeat until you've only got enough left for one biscuit—shape that by hand. | Source
Arrange your biscuits on biscuit pans or cookie sheets. They can be pretty close together, but don't let them touch. Bake in a preheated 425F oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top. | Source
Take them from the oven, and serve. Butter them, smother them with jam, dip them in gravy (but not all at the same time!), and devour them. | Source
