Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Southern
Serves: 8 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Ensure the dry ingredients are well combined and free of lumps.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the cold heavy whipping cream. Use a fork or wooden spoon to gently mix the cream into the flour mixture until a soft, shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough 3-4 times, being careful not to overwork it. Overworking can make the biscuits tough.
- Pat the dough into a rectangle approximately 3/4 inch thick. Use a
- 5-inch round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits.
- Place the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each biscuit. For extra golden tops, brush the biscuits lightly with additional cream.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm with butter, honey, jam, or as a side to your favorite Southern meal.
Tips
- Use Cold Ingredients: For the best texture, make sure your heavy whipping cream is very cold. This helps create flaky layers in your biscuits.
- Don’t Overwork the Dough: When kneading the dough, be gentle and only knead it a few times. Overworking can lead to tough biscuits, so handle the dough with care.
- Cut Straight Down: When cutting out the biscuits, press the cutter straight down without twisting. Twisting can seal the edges, preventing them from rising properly.
- Space Them Out: Make sure to leave about an inch between each biscuit on the baking sheet. This allows them to rise and develop a nice crust without sticking together.
- Brush with Cream: For an extra touch of richness and a beautiful golden color, brush the tops of the biscuits with a little more heavy cream before baking.
- Serve Warm: These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Serve them warm with your favorite toppings for an unforgettable experience!
