Cream biscuits are a simple, yet classic addition to any meal. Unlike traditional biscuits that rely on butter or shortening, these biscuits use heavy cream to create a rich, tender texture. The cream lends a slight sweetness and a wonderfully fluffy interior, making these biscuits perfect for breakfast, dinner, or even dessert. Whether served with gravy, jam, or alongside a savory dish, they are sure to become a favorite. The best part? They require just a handful of ingredients and are incredibly easy to prepare.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cream: Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring gently with a fork or spatula. Mix until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Form the biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently just until it comes together, about 2-3 times. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle.
- Cut the biscuits: Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the remaining dough and repeat the process until all the dough is used.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Serve: Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy them with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.
