Remove the dough to the countertop and knead briefly until it is smooth and uniform in appearance. Pat the dough out to a 1-inch thickness. Use a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter dipped in flour to punch out dough rounds. Push the leftover dough together cut out more rounds. Arrange the biscuits on the parchment lined sheet tray.
