In this video: ✓ Turn them into dumplings without rolling out a thing ✓ Bake them touching, in cast iron, every single time ✓ Put your thumb in the middle and let the biscuit carry something sweet ✓ Lay them over hot fruit and let them be your cobbler ✓ Roll one out flat and it is a crust for whatever the children will eat ✓ Roll them thin, cut them in squares, and you have got flat dumplings None of this was ever a secret.
