For the Biscuits
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Cut in Butter
Add the unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Liquids
Pour in the milk and heavy cream. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.

Shape the Biscuits
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass.

Bake
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
