Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This helps remove any lumps and ensures even distribution of leavening agents.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the heavy cream. Use a flexible spatula or wooden spoon to gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough 3-4 times to help it come together, being careful not to overwork it.
- Pat the dough into a rough rectangle about 3/4 inch thick. Use a 2-inch round biscuit cutter or the rim of a drinking glass to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting.
- Place the cut biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each biscuit. If desired, brush the tops with additional heavy cream for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits have risen nicely.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite accompaniment.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: Ensure your flour is spooned and leveled in the measuring cup to avoid dense biscuits. Too much flour can lead to a heavy texture.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry ingredients with the cream, mix until just combined. Overmixing can result in tough biscuits, so be gentle!
- Chill the Dough: If time allows, chill the dough for about 10 minutes before cutting out the biscuits. This helps them rise better and develop a flakier texture.
- Use a Sharp Cutter: When cutting out your biscuits, use a sharp biscuit cutter or glass to ensure clean edges. Avoid twisting the cutter, as this can seal the edges and prevent rising.
- Brush for Shine: For a beautiful golden finish, brush the tops of the biscuits with a little extra heavy cream before baking.
- Serve Warm: These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Serve them warm with butter, jam, or even a drizzle of honey for a delicious treat!
