Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream and use a spatula or your hands to gently mix the dough until it comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle or circle. Do not knead the dough excessively to ensure tender biscuits.
Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass (approximately 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently re-roll the leftover dough and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter to give them a golden, glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm. Enjoy these biscuits with butter, jam, or as a complement to your favorite dish!
