Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter into the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your hands, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold the dough in half over itself and gently pat it down again. Repeat this folding process 2 more times to create flaky layers.

Step 6

Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass (about 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are close together but not touching.

Step 7

Gather any remaining scraps of dough, pat them together, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter to encourage a golden-brown finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed up and golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm!
