Quick & Easy Biscuits

Happy Monday! I wasn’t feeling well this morning. I called in sick, took some medicine, and went back to bed. I woke up at 2 PM. Not kidding.

When I’m not feeling well, the only food I want involves carbs and more carbs. Today, my diet has consisted of homemade bread, cookies from last night’s outing, and these biscuits. And I have the Pioneer Woman’s mac & cheese in the oven. Still not kidding.

Now, let’s get onto these biscuits I’ve been telling you about.  (Looking for gluten-free biscuits? Here’s my recipe for those!)

Get ya dry ingredients and stir ‘em all together. I probably should have used a whisk. Ehhh..whatever.

Measure 3/4 c heavy cream. Oh just do it.

Pour cream over dry ingredients and let your puppa sniff it.

Stir until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Don’t overmix yo.

Dump the dough on a floured surface and briefly knead until it’s just smooth.

Pat the dough out to about 3/4” thickness. Cut with drinking glass. Or a biscuit cutter if you don’t have a drinking glass.

Place on greased (or mat or parchment lined) pan. Bake at 350 degrees (on a rack placed in the top third of your oven) for about 15 minutes.

When they are just cool enough to handle, break apart, spread a little butter on that and eat. And be grateful for biscuits. Because they make this world a better place.

Quick & Easy Biscuits 

{makes 8 biscuits}

I have subbed 2% milk for the cream in these before. It was a mistake. They were still good, but they weren’t GOOD. Live a little and use cream.

Ingredients

• 2 c all-purpose flour
• 2 t white sugar
• 2 t baking powder
• 1/2 t salt
• 1.5 c heavy cream

How To

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Put an oven rack in the top third of the oven.
2. Whisk all the dry ingredients together.
3. Using a spoon, stir in the cream and mix just until a rough dough forms.
4. Lightly flour the countertop and dump dough onto it. Knead 20-25 times until the dough is smooth.
5. Using your hands, pat the dough until about 3/4” thick. Cut out biscuits and place on a greased cookie sheet.
6. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve hot.

What do you like on your biscuits? butter? jam? honey? I’m a butter and/or strawberry jam gal myself.
