Steps:

• Dice butter into 1/2" cubes and refrigerate until needed.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Whisk thoroughly.

• Add 1 cup - minus 2 Tbsp of Half and Half all at once and stir until mixture comes together and is mostly moistened. Do not over-mix.
• Turn dough out onto a floured surface. If dough is very sticky, lightly sprinkle the top with flour.
• Pat dough into a rectangle then fold it in half and pat into another rectangle. Fold a second time and pat into a 5"x10" rectangle or 3/4" thickness. Dip a 2 1/2" round biscuit cutter into flour and cut out 8 biscults. Pull together scraps and form into a rectangle to cut an extra 2 biscuits.
