Perfectly Flakey and Fluffy Biscuits

2 cups flour
1 1/2 Tbls baking powder 
1 tsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup half and half or heavy cream

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk thoroughly.

Add diced cold butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry blender until the largest butter pieces are pea-sized.

Add 1 cup half and half or heavy cream, and stir until mixture comes together and is mostly moistened. 

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Pat dough into a rectangle, then fold and pat into another rectangle. Fold and pat again, into a 5x10 rectangle with 3/4" thickness. Cut into eight biscuits using a biscuit cutter. 

Place on parchment lined baking sheet. Bake on 450 for 12-15 minutes.
