Dough: Add flour, sugar, baking powder and salt to food processor and pulse until combined. Scatter chilled butter and shortening over flour and pulse until it resembles coarse crumbs. Transfer to a bowl and stir in half and half until dough forms. Turn out onto lightly floured counter and knead briefly until dough comes together. Press dough into a rough 10x5 rectangle and cut in half. Wrap each half in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, about ⏱️ 1 hour or until you are ready to use.
