Then flour your hands and make a patty of the dough and knead it between palms about 10 times.
  2. Break off 6 equal pieces and shape into patties 1-inch thick. Arrange in greased 1-quart baking dish.
  3. Bake at 425 degrees F for 18-20 minutes or till golden.
  4. Let cool in baking dish for 10 minutes before serving.

Makes 6 biscuits' double the recipe to make 1 dozen.

Raisin Bread: When you begin kneading the dough with the back of the spoon, add Raisin Bread Ingredients. Continue kneading Herman between your palms as directed above. Grease the 1-quart baking dish and break Herman up into 12 small balls. Dust each ball in a mixture of 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.

Drop the balls into the prepared baking dish and bake at 425 degrees F about 20-23 minutes or till golden.

As soon as it's out of the oven, drizzle with Thin Vanilla Glaze.
