  • ½ cup Challenge Butter, cold and cut into ½-inch pieces
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • ⅓ cup + 2 Tablespoons half-and-half cream, divided

Directions

    Preheat oven to 450°F.

    To make round biscuits, gently pat the dough into a 1" thick disc and use a biscuit cutter. Place rounds onto a buttered or parchment lined cookie sheet and brush with remaining cream. For drop biscuits, drop large spoonfuls (six, approximately 2½ diameter mounds) onto a buttered or parchment lined cookie sheet and brush with remaining cream.
