Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it lightly 3-4 times. Roll out the dough to a 1/2-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a 2-1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits 2 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Cover with kitchen towels and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 1 hour.
