Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour (for dusting workspace)
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, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar (if using) until well combined.
Gradually pour the heavy whipping cream into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently bring the dough together with your hands, being careful not to knead it too much. Press it into a rectangle or circle about 1 inch thick.
Using a floured round biscuit cutter (or a glass), cut out biscuits from the dough. Press straight down without twisting to ensure proper rise. Gather the scraps, reshape, and continue cutting until all the dough is used.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are close together (touching slightly) for soft-sided biscuits or spaced slightly apart for crispier edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm with butter, jam, or gravy.
