Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups flour
6 tbsp sugar, divided
1 tbsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter , cut into 1-tsp-sized pieces and frozen
2 cups whipping cream , plus
2 tbsp whipping cream
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla extract, divided

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a food processor, place the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend briefly. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is the size of peas.
Pour mixture into a bowl, add 1 cup of the cream, and combine with a fork until moistened. Immediately turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead about 10 times. Small lumps of butter should be visible.
Roll out to a 3/4-inch thickness. Keep dough in a square shape. Cut into 6 pieces and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. (You can do this either with a knife, for square biscuits, or with biscuit cutters for round ones. If you don’t have biscuit butters, you can also use one end of a clean 8-oz tomato sauce can.).
Mix the egg yolk with 2 tablespoons of cream and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and brush on the tops of the biscuits. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
