Soft Biscuits

Preheat oven to 425

2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
3/4 cup buttermilk, half and half, or heavy cream

Combine all dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter, cut butter into dry mix until butter is the size of peas. Mix in milk until combined.

On a well floured surface, pat dough flat. Fold the dough over and beat it with a rolling pin until it's 1/2 inch thick. Do this a dozen times. Roll dough 1/2 thick and cut into desired size.

Bake on a parchment lined baking sheet at 425 for 15-20 minutes.
