- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup half-and-half
Process
Preheat oven to 450F. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Cut butter into small pieces and add to bowl. Squeeze/press ingredients by hand until the mixture resemble coarse crumbs.
Add in half-and-half and stir until the mixture forms a mass. Gather into a ball and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Knead dough and press into 3/4-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to slice into circles. Continue to knead and press dough until all is used.
Arrange biscuits at least 1 inch apart on a baking sheet. Bake for about 14 minutes, until fluffy and golden. Remove from oven and let cool. Make sausage gravy here.
