  11. Slice into 9 equal rounds.
  12. Place the biscuit rounds, cut side down, in an un-oiled 8-inch square baking dish or a pie plate.
  13. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the biscuits are lightly browned.
  14. While the biscuits bake, prepare the icing.
  15. Mix together the confectioners' sugar and milk or cream until smooth.
  16. When you remove the biscuits from the oven, immediately drizzle them with the icing.
