  2. Decide your cooking method: Microwave - grease a dish, spoon batter, and cook on high for 2 minutes, or Oven - preheat to 350°F, spoon onto a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
  3. Once cooked, let the biscuits rest for 2-3 minutes to enhance fluffiness and texture.
  4. When slightly cooled, slice the biscuits in half and serve with toppings of your choice.
