1
Preheat oven to 450 F.
-
2
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
-
3
In a large bowl add flour, baking powder, salt and brown sugar.
-
4
Whisk until well combined. (may need to sift it to help break up the brown sugar)
-
5
Grate the cold butter into the flour mixture.
-
6
Add the shortening.
-
7
Use a fork, whisk or pastry cutter to cut the butter and shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles large crumbs.
-
8
Make a well in the center of the bowl.
-
9
Mix together the buttermilk and heavy cream.
-
10
Add to the center of well.
-
11
Slowly and very gently begin adding the flour mixture into the well.
-
12
Stir gently until the flour mixture is moistened (do not over stir)
-
13
Generously flour your work surface with flour.
-
14
Place dough onto floured surface.
-
15
Sprinkle the top of dough with flour and flour your hands as well.
-
16
Very gently, knead the dough by folding it in layers a few times while adding more flour, just enough so that the dough is not sticking to your hands or your work surface. (less flour, the better)
-
17
Gently pat the dough out into a small rectangle about 1 inch thick.
-
18
Flour your biscuit cutter and cut out circles.
-
19
Place biscuits on prepared cookie sheet with sides barely touching.
-
20
Make a small dent in the center of each biscuit with your finger (this helps tall biscuits rise without falling over)
-
21
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden. (sometimes mine take up to 14 minutes)
-
22
Brush generously with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven. (don't skip this step)
-
23
Serve hot.
