Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F and line tray with baking paper. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper.

3. Work the butter into the flour mixture using your fingers, a fork or a food processor to create a bread crumb texture.

4. In a smaller bowl, combine the cream and milk. While mixing, slowly drizzle the wet mixture until it comes together and creates a dough. Be gentle and not overmix, it will create tough biscuits.

5. 2 Options:
   
   Take scoopfuls in your hand and gently create round shape (I like this as it creates an uneven, crunchy texture when baked). Place onto tray.
   
   or
   
   Place on a lightly floured work bench. Pat it into a rough rectangle about 2.5cm /1 inch thick. Fold it into thirds, then third again. Gently press or use rolling pin to roll out until the dough is 2.5cm /1 inch thick again. Either use or knife and cut into squares or use a glass/cookie cutter to cut circles around 6cm /2.5 inch. Gently gather scraps and roll again. Place together on tray.

6. Brush the biscuits with egg wash to enhance browning. Place in hot oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
   
   Serve warm with butter and even some honey!
