Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat the oven to 425°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add basil and stir. Slowly pour some of the cream into the dry ingredients and stir, then add a little more, holding back about ½ cup unless the dough is dry. You may or may not need all of the cream, depending on the humidity in your area.
On a lightly floured surface, gently knead the dough together into a cohesive mass. Pat the dough into a ¾-1 inch thick square. Cut it into 4 large squares. Stack the squares on top of each other and then press down to flatten. This will create layers. Use a bench scraper to lift the dough, sprinkle a little flour underneath, and then roll the dough out into a large square that's roughly 1 inch thick. Trim the sides to make neat edges. Cut the dough into 12 squares (4 squares by 3 squares). Transfer them to the parchment-lined baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Freeze for 10 minutes.
Brush each biscuit generously with melted butter. Bake until lightly browned, about 12-16 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush again with butter. Serve warm or at room temperature.
