1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp baking powder
1 cup milk
Additional flour for rolling out and kneading
Heavy cream for brushing on top

1. Mix together flour, salt, and baking powder.

2. Cut in butter until crumbly

3. Slowly add in milk. (Mixture will be sticky.)

4. Turn onto a HEAVILY floured surface and knead until dough is no longer sticky.

5. Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness and cut with a 3" round cookie cutter. (I use the top of a children's cup to cut biscuits.)

6. Place on baking sheet, and brush with heavy cream before baking.

7. Bake at 450 for about 10 minutes.
