Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and position a rack in the center.
-
-
Sift Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the cake flour, all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. This ensures a smooth texture for your biscuits.
-
Incorporate Butter: Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the unsalted butter into the flour mixture until it resembles small peas. This step creates pockets of buttery goodness throughout the biscuits.
-
Add Half-and-Half: Pour in the half-and-half and stir gently until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should just come together.
-
Knead Lightly: Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead it a few times until it’s smooth. Avoid overworking the dough, as this can result in tough biscuits.
-
Roll and Cut: Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3/4 inch. Then, using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out biscuits. Gather any scraps, reroll the dough, and repeat until you have 12 biscuits.
-
Transfer and Bake: Carefully transfer the biscuits to an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until they are golden brown, typically 12 to 15 minutes. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t overbake.
-
Serve Hot: Once baked to perfection, serve the biscuits hot from the oven. Their irresistible aroma will beckon everyone to the table.
Yield:
This recipe yields 12 heavenly biscuits, ensuring there’s plenty to go around for everyone to enjoy.
