Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help the biscuits rise and become golden brown.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Use a whisk to mix the dry ingredients together thoroughly, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Make a well in the center of the dry mixture. Slowly pour in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the cream into the flour mixture. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky and just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. With floured hands, gently knead the dough a few times until it comes together. Avoid overworking the dough to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
- Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Use a floured biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure they rise properly.
- Place the cut biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet, ensuring they are close together but not touching. This helps them rise evenly.
- Optional: For a golden finish, brush the tops of the biscuits with a little additional heavy whipping cream or melted butter.
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
- Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.
Tips
- Preheat Properly: Make sure your oven is fully preheated to 425°F (220°C) before baking. A hot oven is essential for achieving that perfect rise and golden color.
- Mix Gently: When combining the heavy whipping cream with the dry ingredients, fold gently. Overmixing can lead to dense biscuits, so stop as soon as the dough comes together.
- Knead Lightly: Keep kneading to a minimum! Just a few folds to bring the dough together will ensure your biscuits remain light and fluffy.
- Cut with Care: Use a floured biscuit cutter or glass, and press straight down without twisting. Twisting can seal the edges and prevent the biscuits from rising properly.
- Bake in Batches: If you're making a large batch, consider baking them in two separate rounds to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Brush for Shine: For an extra touch of indulgence, brush the tops of the biscuits with heavy whipping cream or melted butter before baking for a shiny, golden finish.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy your biscuits fresh out of the oven for the best texture and flavor. They’re perfect with a pat of butter or a dollop of your favorite jam!
