7. 7
   Knead about 15 times, then pat lightly into a circle, about 1/2-inch thick.
8. 8
   (The secret to light and fluffy biscuits is to handle the dough as little as possible) With a sharp round cutter, cut out rounds, without twisting the cutter.
9. 9
   Just give it a sharp tap, then lift straight up (twisting the cutter causes the biscuits to slope over when they are baking) place on a baking sheet.
