3. Assemble Twists
- Separate biscuit dough into 16 rounds.
- Flatten each gently into a 4-inch circle (use a rolling pin or your palm).
- Place 1–2 tsp filling slightly off-center on each round.
- Fold dough over filling to form a half-moon; seal edges by pressing with a fork.
- Twist once gently to create a spiral shape; place seam-side down on baking sheet.
4. Bake to Golden Perfection
- Brush tops with melted butter.
- Bake 18–22 minutes, until deep golden brown and puffed.
5. Serve Warm
- Let cool 2–3 minutes—cheese will be molten!
- Serve warm for the ultimate melt-and-pull experience.
