I got this from Beard on Bread many, many years ago. They're wonderful biscuits! Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder (double-acting) |
3/4 cup heavy cream |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons granulated sugar |
Directions:
1. Sift dry ingredients together.
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.
