Ingredients:

Serving

3 cups all-purpose flour (they use white lilly)
1 tbsp double-acting baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp granulated sugar (plus a little extra to sprinkle on top , if desired)
6 tbsp unsalted butter (at room temperature )
1 1/2 cups half-and-half (plus extra for brushing on biscuits , if desired)

Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (not required, but makes clean-up easier.
Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.
Cut in the softened butter until the butter is the size of small peas.
Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in the cream.
Mix until the dough comes together in a sticky ball.
Turn out the dough on a floured surface and knead three times only.
Roll out to 1 thickness (no thinner!) and cut out biscuits with a small can or biscuit cutter with a diameter of 2 1/2 to 3 inches. Cut the biscuits very close to each other, and re-roll the scraps only once.
Place biscuits on the basking sheet. For a richer, sweeter biscuit, brush the biscuits with cream and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
Bake for 20-23 minutes until biscuits are golden brown on top.
