  If you like soft sides, place the biscuits touching each other on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
  
  If you like crunchy sides, put them about 1 inch apart these will not rise as high as the biscuits put close together.
  
  I brushed the biscuits with milk, and cracked some fresh black pepper on top.
  
  Bake for 10 - 12 minutes ( do not over bake )
