Servings: 8 biscuits
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 6 tbsp butter {cold}
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix the dry ingredients together. Using a pastry blender {or two knives} to cut the butter in to the dry ingredients until it resembles pea size crumbs.
- Add the milk/heavy cream at once, mix until you have a soft dough. On a flat surface pat the dough out to about 1/2"-3/4" thick. Cut into circles with a biscuit cutter {being sure to cut straight down through the dough and bringing the cutter straight up}. Put biscuits onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake biscuits for 15-20 minutes or until they are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and serve warm. Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- You may need to add a little more milk if the mixture is too dry. Add 1 tablespoon at a time until you have the desired consistency.
- You can pat the scraps out and cut more biscuits but the dough will get tough the more you work with it.
