Equipment
- Wooden Spoon
- Frying Pan
- Whisk
- Baking Sheet
- Oven
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 1.5 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. This is the perfect temperature to ensure a nice golden color on your biscuits.
- 2. Prepare a cookie sheet by greasing it with either butter or shortening. This will help the biscuits to not stick and achieve a beautiful golden bottom.
- 3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 ½ teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. This dry mixture is the base of your biscuits and will create a nice, fluffy texture.
- 4. Now, add 1 ½ cups of heavy whipping cream to the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until it starts to come together into a thick dough. You may need to use your hands to finish working it together, but be careful not to overmix.
- 5. Using two spoons, scoop out portions of the biscuit dough and drop them onto the prepared cookie sheet. Depending on how large you want your biscuits, you should be able to make around 8 biscuits.
- 6. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 14 to 16 minutes. You'll know they’re done when the tops and bottoms are golden brown and they’re cooked through. For even cooking, consider rotating the pan halfway through baking.
- 7. Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. This will help them maintain their structure and be easier to handle.
- 8. Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious Sweet Cream Biscuits with your favorite toppings!
Notes
- Tip 1: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
- Tip 2: You can freeze unbaked biscuits. Just scoop the dough onto a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
- Tip 3: These biscuits are fantastic with a variety of toppings, such as butter, honey, or homemade jam.
- Tip 4: Consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme for a savory twist.
