Cream Biscuits
Mar. 10th, 2019 11:58 amI made these this morning, and they were good.
Makes eight biscuits, roughly 3 inches in diameter.
Inspiration: https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/never-fail-biscuits-recipe
But I don't usually have self-rising flour on hand, so I then consulted this page:

Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F.
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup heaving whipping cream (I had to add about a 1/4 cup more to bring the dough together)
Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add cream. Stir with a spoon and then with your hands to combine into a cohesive dough. At this point, you can either pat the dough out into a rectangle on flour-dusted parchment paper and cut out circles with a cookie/biscuit cutter, or just divide the dough into eight portions and make dough balls. I then formed the dough balls into rough disks about an inch thick. Place dough balls on a cookie sheet that has been greased with butter, or use parchment paper. Brush additional cream on top of each portion of dough. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until fully cooked in the middle. (The original recipe said "bake for 10 minutes" but that wasn't nearly enough time.) Serve with butter and/or honey.
You can add 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon vanilla to this recipe to make shortcakes. You can add bacon and cheddar cheese to make bacon cheddar biscuits. Check out the link to the King Arthur recipe for other ideas KEEWERD
