- Stir the dough together and then empty your dough onto a floured countertop and knead about 10 times.
- Form your dough into a long rectangle and cut it into 12 even pieces.
- Bake at 230°C (450°F) for 10 - 12 minutes or until the biscuits rise a mile high and begin to turn brown.

- Finally halve a biscuit on a plate, top it with some whipped cream, berries, and mint.
- Cover with the other half of your biscuit and enjoy!
