Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Gradually pour in the heavy cream while stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula. Mix just until the dough comes together and all the dry ingredients are moistened. Avoid overmixing.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 2-3 times to bring it into a cohesive ball.
Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick disk. Use a 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting to ensure even rising. Re-roll the scraps and cut more biscuits as needed.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter to promote browning and add flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter, jam, or honey as desired.
