Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar, plus more for sprinkling on top
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Slowly add 1 cup of the cream, stirring with a rubber spatula, to form a smooth dough. Add up to 1/2 cup additional cream if mixture is too dry, being careful not to overwork the dough or the biscuits will be tough.

Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a square, about 3/4-inch thick. With a 2-inch round biscuit or cookie cutter, cut into 12 circles, gathering the scraps and gently patting out again, if necessary. Dip each round into the melted butter to coat on all sides. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and srinkle the tops with a little more sugar. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve hot.

    Alright

    These biscuits are alright, nothing that special. Next time I will try adding dried cranberries and more salt, less sugar. It... took me about 18 minutes to get a golden brown on top.Read more

    Blueberry sauce the best part

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    These were not bad. I will probably not make them again. I did make the blueberry sauce to go on pancakes and it was really... good! I added some cornstarch to thicken it up.Read more

    So very easy

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I thought I had purchased crescent rolls for Easter dinner and found that I didn't. Found this recipe on line and made it. ... Oh my, they were great! So easy to do. Tender in side and a nice little crisp on the outside. This is a keeper.Read more
