Steps:
- Sift flour into mixing bowl with baking powder and salt.
- Using fingers, two knives, or a heavy fork, blend butter and flour into very fine particles. (Don't beat any longer than you absolutely must!).
- Add milk and stir just enough to ake particles cling together -- it will be a very soft dough.
- (You may have to add up to another 1/4 cup of milk, for a total of 1 cup of milk in the biscuit dough.) Turn on to floured surface and knead for about 1 minute.
- Drop dough by large spoonfuls on to a baking sheet spritzed with baking spray.
- Bake at 450 for 12-15 minutes.

Steps:
- Sift dry ingredients together.
- Fold in cream until it makes a soft dough that can be easily handled. (You may need to add up to a full cup of cream).
- Turn on to a floured board and knead for about one minute.
- I make these as drop biscuits: Take a large mound of dough (one heaping tablespoonful) and dip into melted butter.
- Arrange biscuits on a baking sheet spritzed with baking spray. Bake at 425 for 15-18 minutes.
Tips:
- Use cold butter andtermilk: Cold butter andtermilk help to create a tender, flaky biscuit.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will result in tough biscuits.
- Let the dough rest before baking: This will allow the gluten to relax and will result in a more tender biscuit.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: This will help to create a golden brown crust.
- Serve the biscuits warm: Freshly baked biscuits are best served warm.
