  4. Incorporate the butter: Cut butter into cubes and mix it into the dry ingredients until coarse crumbs form.
  5. Add the cream: Pour in the heavy cream and mix gently until the dough comes together.
  6. Shape the biscuits: Knead the dough gently, roll out, and cut into mini biscuits.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
  8. Whip the cream: Beat heavy cream until soft peaks form, then add vanilla and whip until stiff peaks.
