Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (double-acting)
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar

  2. Fold in cream until it makes a soft dough that can be easily handled. (You may need to add up to a full cup of cream).
  3. Turn on to a floured board and knead for about one minute.
  4. I make these as drop biscuits: Take a large mound of dough (one heaping tablespoonful) and dip into melted butter.
  5. Arrange biscuits on a baking sheet spritzed with baking spray. Bake at 425 for 15-18 minutes.
