- Cut the log into 8 equal slices and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
