• For skillet biscuits:.
• Cook the biscuits on a lightly greased hot skillet/griddle about 1 inch apart.
• Use your best judgement as to the heat - I generally use a more moderate flame and brown biscuits 3 to 4 minutes each side, though the original recipe says to brown them for 5-7 minutes each side over high heat.
• As mentioned above - the biscuits will not be light and fluffy like with baked biscuits - so don't wait for them to rise and be puffy. They will be more dense.
• The best approach is to keep an eye on them and turn them when they are browned and dry-looking on one side before turning them over.
