Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Sift dry ingredients into a mixing bowl.
- Blend in whipped cream with a fork until dough is stiff.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet and bake until golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use a light hand when mixing the dough to keep the biscuits tender. If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute with half-and-half or whole milk, but the texture will be slightly different. Consider adding a tablespoon of sugar for a touch of sweetness, especially if you plan to serve them with fruit or jam.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these whipped cream biscuits warm, with butter or a dollop of jam for a delightful breakfast treat. They pair beautifully with fresh fruit or a side of whipped cream for a decadent dessert option. For a savory twist, try them alongside Easy Tuna Pie for a complete meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. This will help retain their flaky texture, making them enjoyable again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cream?
While heavy cream is preferred for its richness, you can use half-and-half or even a non-dairy milk alternative, but the texture and flavor will change. If you opt for a lighter option, consider adding a bit of melted butter to enhance the richness.
What can I add to the dough for extra flavor?
Consider mixing in shredded cheese, herbs, or spices to give your biscuits an extra flavor boost. Pairing these with Susan'S Wonderful Cheese Bread can elevate your brunch spread, offering a variety of tastes for guests.
How do I know when the biscuits are done baking?
The biscuits should be golden brown on the top and firm to the touch. A good indicator is to gently lift one; if it releases easily from the baking sheet, they are ready. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven for the best texture!
