Preparation

Step 1

1. In large bowl, stir together 4 cups of flour, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, coarsely cut in 1/2 cup of butter. Add cream gradually. Knead just long enough to make a stiff dough. Do not overwork.

2. On lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 1/2" thickness. Cut into squares of desired size. Wrap and refrigerate overnight.

3. The next day, preheat oven to 400F. Butter a baking sheet or cover with parchment paper. Place biscuits onto baking sheet and bake until puffed and golden in color, about 18 mins. Serve at once.
