- Scatter the diced butter over the flour mixture. Pulse in short bursts—about 8 to 10 times—until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to over-process; you want visible small bits of butter.5 ounces cold diced unsalted butter

- Turn out onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times until it comes together. Roll the dough to 1 inch thick and cut using a 2 to 2 1/2-inch round cutter. Place the biscuits close together in a 10-inch skillet or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Cover with a towel and let them rise in a warm place for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush the tops with cream or melted butter.1 tbsp heavy cream or melted butter
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
If you don’t have a food processor, whisk the dry ingredients in a bowl, cut in the butter with a pastry blender or fork, then stir in the liquids just until combined.
