"Prep time includes freezing time for butter & cheese. Families comments: tastes & texture are just like a biscuit should be. Sorry about the picture, there were 12 when they came out of the oven. This was what was left after the minute it took to get my phone."

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and knead briefly until dough comes together. Roll dough into 8 by 6-inch rectangle, about ¾ inch thick. Cut into twelve 2-inch squares and transfer to prepared baking sheet. Bake until light brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to wire rack and let cool 5 minutes. Serve warm.
