Plain Biscuits~ Select one of the following:
milk dough
buttermilk dough
cream dough
milk for brushing the biscuits

Gather the dough into a ball, knead it gently 6 times on a floured surface, and roll
or pat it out ½-inch thick.

Cut out as many rounds a possible with a 2½-inch round cutter dipped in flour
and transfer them to an un-greased baking sheet.  Gather the scraps, re-roll the
dough, and cut out more rounds in the same manner until there are 10 in all.  

Brush the tops of the rounds with the milk and bake the biscuits in a preheated
425 degree F oven for 15 minutes, or until they are pale golden.  Transfer to a
rack and let them cool for 5 minutes.
