- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp cold butter cut into small pieces

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 4 times. Roll the dough into a (½-inch thick) rectangle; dust the top with flour.
- Fold the dough crosswise into thirds (like folding a piece of paper to fit into an envelope).
- Re-roll dough into another (½-inch thick) rectangle; dust the top with flour.
- Fold the dough crosswise into thirds; gently roll or pat to a ¾-inch thickness.
- Cut the dough with a biscuit cutter to form 6 dough rounds.
- Place the dough rounds, 1 inch apart, on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 13 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the baking tray; cool on a wire cooling rack for a few minutes.
