Biscuit Method Soft Dough Cut-in fat Lightly kneaded Flakiness Soft doughs are used for biscuits. They are rolled out and cut into desired shapes. Mixed with the biscuit method. Very similar to making a pie crust. Dry ingredients are first mixed together. Fat is then cut into the flour. It should resemble course cornmeal when finished. This allows for flakiness as the fat melts. Liquid is then added. Mix just until combined and soft dough is formed. Lightly knead- press out and fold in half. Rotate 90 degrees after each fold. Do this 10-20 times. Roll out and cut. Soft Dough Cut-in fat Lightly kneaded Flakiness Biscuit Method
