Cream Biscuits
By: Susan Dillard
Dec 9, 2002
I got this recipe from Bon Appetit Magazine in 1979, and have been making them ever since. They are the easiest biscuits to make and turn out perfectly every time. Bonus, there's no messy shortening to mess with!
12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4-1 cup whipping cream
- melted butter
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.2
Butter baking sheet or square baking pan.3
Sift first 4 ingredients into large bowl.4
Fold in enough cream to make soft dough that can be handled easily.5
Turn out onto floured board and knead about 1 minute.6
Pat to 1/2- 3/4 inch thickness.7
Cut into rounds or squares, dip in melted butter and place on baking sheet (do not crowd; biscuits should not touch).8
Bake until golden, about 15- 18 minutes.9
Serve hot.

Wonderful! I made one change and one unintentional (insignificant) change. To "soften" the biscuit, I used 1-1/4 cups cake flour and 3/4 cup all-purpose flour in place of 2 cups all-purpose flour. I accidentally used heavy cream versus whipping cream, but really there's not much difference. I loved them! They didn't rise terribly high but that could be my fault as I placed them touching as that's how I usually make biscuits. definitely on the re-make list!

Great biscuits. It was so nice to not have to cut in butter and shortening and a good way to use farm cream.

I made these Sunday. They were very easy to make. But I thought they were a little hard. I will probably make them again because they were easy, very easy, but I wanted a softer biscuit.

I made a dozen squuare biscuits. Very easy and so tasty. These little jewels are wonderful, they are creamy, tender and delicate, with a nice crunchy crust. I will definitely make these yummy biscuits again and again. Thanks for sharing Susan.
