"my dad and i made these all the time when we used to go camping in our pop-up camper and then later on in our new and improved rv. best with the stew he made because you could just keep taking off a layer and still have a huge biscuit."

I do believe you forgot a few steps between steps six and seven. You need to gently pat out the dough, fold it, turn it ninety degrees, gently pat it out again, fold it, turn it ninety degrees, and repeat that process one more time prior to gently rolling out the biscuits in order to achieve the layers.
