Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups cake flour
• 3/4 cup flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup butter, cold & cut into chunks
• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
• 3/4 cup heavy cream

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• 2 cut butter into small chunks and return to the refrigerator to keep cold.
• 3 put 1 tablespoon cider vinegar in the bottom of a measuring cup and add the heavy cream to equal 3/4 cup. set aside.
• 4 combine the dry ingredients in a food processor bowl.
• 5 add the butter and pulse until no chunks of butter are obvious (kinda crumbly, but will be mostly flour).
• 6 pour in the heavy cream which will appear curdled, pulsing until mixed. you'll have to use a spatula to scrape the curdled cream from the cup.
• 7 once the dough looks more combined and almost forms a ball, remove from food processor bowl to a floured surface.
• 8 pat the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness. try not to overwork the dough.
• 9 cut biscuits with sharp biscuit cutter; do not twist the cutter, just punch down and remove. you'll have to re-roll the dough but keep in mind, the less working of the dough, the flakier the biscuit will be. they'll still taste just as good.
• 10 place the biscuits in a round baking pan, with sides of biscuits touching each other as much as possible and/or touching the sides of the pan (do not grease pan).
• 11 bake for about 10 minutes or lightly browned.
• 12 serve with pepper gravy, sausage gravy, chocolate gravy or simply butter & honey, plain butter, or butter and sugar!
