Knead for 30 seconds and pat to form a layer ⅝-inch thick. I try to form a square so I can make square biscuits with two cuts of a knife. (If you use a round cutter you can reform the remaining dough but the biscuit cut from this dough will have a different texture.)
Cook on tray for 10-11 minutes at 425 F. (As toaster ovens vary a great deal, keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t burn, or worse.)
