Biscuits are a classic American pastry. They're fluffy, flaky, and similar in texture to savory British scones, but most importantly, they're quick and easy to make. The dough for these buns is made with baking powder, not yeast. All you need is flour, butter, milk, and a pinch of sugar and salt—all the essentials you'll find in any kitchen. This makes biscuits easy to make anytime. They can be served with soup instead of bread, topped with jam, or used in sandwiches.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 230°C (430°F). Line a baking sheet with two layers of parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined. Using your fingertips, rub 2 tablespoons of butter into the flour until completely incorporated.
- Add the remaining butter to the flour and rub it in with your hands until it forms pea-sized pieces. Gently fold the milk into the flour mixture with a fork to form a rough dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface. Using your hands, form the dough into a 1 cm thick rectangle. Fold the dough into thirds, like a business letter. For a more layered texture, repeat the folding process.
- Form the dough into a 2.5 x 20 cm rectangle, 2 cm thick. Using a 5-7 cm round cookie cutter, cut out 6 circles from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the dough scraps, form the rectangle, and cut out 2 more circles and place them on the baking sheet.
- Make the glaze by mixing the cream and melted butter in a small bowl. Lightly brush the top of the dough with the glaze. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let the buns cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes and serve.
