Whipping Cream Biscuits
These tall, velvety biscuits use whipping cream instead of cutting in butter or shortening.
Ingredients
- 4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 ½ cup whipping cream (or heavy cream)
- 2 Tbsp butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line with parchment paper.
- Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Add whipping cream and stir with a fork until the dry ingredients are just moistened. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead lightly no more than 10 times, being careful to not over work the dough.
- Roll or pat dough to ¾” thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter. Place biscuits on prepared sheet pan about 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 12-15min or until golden brown. Brush biscuits with melted butter.
- Yield: About 18, depending on size/thickness
