Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup Challenge Butter, cold and cut into ½-inch pieces
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • ⅓ cup + 2 Tablespoons half-and-half cream, divided

Directions

  • 1

    Preheat oven to 450°F.

  • 2

    Combine dry ingredients in large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  • 3

    With a fork, stir in eggs and ⅓ cup cream, just until moistened. Add additional 1 or 2 tablespoons of cream if necessary.

    To make round biscuits, gently pat the dough into a 1-inch thick disc and use a biscuit cutter. Place rounds onto a buttered or parchment lined cookie sheet and brush with remaining cream. For drop biscuits, drop large spoonfuls (six, approximately 2½ diameter mounds) onto a buttered or parchment lined cookie sheet and brush with remaining cream.
