Gather the scraps once, reform and cut a few more. (You will have about 12 biscuits.) Place on a small rimmed baking sheet so that the biscuits touch each other. Bake in the top third of the oven until light golden brown and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with orange marmalade and softened salted butter on the side, if using.
