Time 35m

Yield 8 biscuits, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups all-purpose flour (preferably White Lily)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (yes, in addition to the 1 tbsp above)
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar (yes, in addition to the 2 tbsp. above)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons half-and-half (for brushing on top of biscuits)
1 tablespoon sugar (for sprinkling on top of biscuits)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Place flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Cut butter into 1/2 tablespoon-sized bits and add to the flour. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in all the heavy cream and the half and half. Stir the dry ingredients into the cream and mix with a wooden spoon until dough just begins to come together into a ball.
  • Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 2 or 3 times to form a cohesive mass. Do not overwork the dough. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to a 1-inch thickness. The correct thickness is the key to obtaining a stately biscuit. Dip a 2-1/2 inch biscuit cutter in flour, then cut the dough. Repeat until all the dough has been cut. Scraps can be gathered together and rerolled once. Place the biscuits on the prepared sheet pan, leaving about 1/4 inch between them. Brush the tops of the biscuits with 1 tablespoon of half and half and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Bake for 20 minutes. Biscuits will be lightly browned on top and flaky in the center when done.

I made these biscuits for my husband's birthday breakfast, and he loved them! They're the perfect combination of fluffy and flaky, and they have a delicious buttery flavor. I'll definitely be making these again for special occasions.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my biscuits didn't turn out well. They were flat and dense, and they didn't have much flavor. I'm going to try a different recipe next time.

I wouldn't recommend this recipe. The biscuits were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor. I ended up throwing them away.

These biscuits are okay. They're not the best I've ever had, but they're not bad either. They're a bit dry, but they're still edible.
