Biscuits and Blackberries with Cream

Ingredients:
4 oz butter, cold and cut into pieces
1 cup of sugar
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Buttermilk - enough to make a dough
1 egg beaten, with 2 tablespoons of milk for an egg-wash
Sugar for sprinkling

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix together the flour, salt and baking powder. Cut the butter into it until it resembles pea-size lumps. Add the sugar and stir in the buttermilk, one half cup at a time, until the mixture holds together as a dough. Turn out onto floured surface and knead lightly. Cut with biscuit cutter and place on baking sheet on top of parchment or waxed paper.
Brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle liberally with sugar. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with fresh or thawed berries and fresh whipped cream.
