Cream Biscuits
From Bakingbetter.com
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 ¼ cups heavy cream (or whipping cream)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a
medium sized mixing bowl. Using a whisk, combine
thoroughly. Add cream and mix just to combine.
On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough, and
knead 6-8 times to bring the dough together (do not
over knead, it will toughen the biscuits). Pat the
dough to about ½ inch thickness, either with your
hand, or a rolling pin. Cut pushing straight down
without twisting, gathering the scraps of dough and
patting them again for more cutting. Transfer the cut
dough to a lightly greased baking pan, brush the tops
with melted butter (optional) and bake for 15-20
minutes until golden brown all over. Remove to
cooling rack.
For an easier version mix 1 1/4 cups of heavy cream with 2 cups of self rising flour (baking powder and salt already in the flour), and 2 teaspoons sugar. Proceed as directed.
