Recipe: Homemade Cream Biscuits
These biscuits are made with heavy cream, not butter — a secret that produces biscuits that are fluffy and tender.

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsps. sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
1½ cups heavy cream

Method:

  1. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl.
  3. Add 1¼ cups cream and stir with wooden spoon until dough forms, about 30 seconds. Transfer dough from bowl to countertop, leaving all dry, floury bits behind in bowl.
  4. In 1 tablespoon increments, add up to ¼ cup cream to dry bits in bowl, mixing with wooden spoon after each addition, until moistened. Add these moistened bits to rest of the dough and knead by hand just until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  5. Cut biscuits to rounds or wedges. Place on parchment lined baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through.

Variation:
Stir in ½ cup, (2 ounces) sharp cheddar cheese cut into ¼ inch pieces into flour along with sugar, baking powder, and salt. Increase baking time to 18 minutes.
