Cream Biscuits

Yield: 12 Biscuits

Prep Time: 15

Cook Time: 15

Total Time: 30

Ingredients

3 tablespoons (43 g) melted butter
2 cups (284 g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the surface
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar, optional
1 ½ cups heavy cream

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sift two cups flour, the baking powder, salt and (if using) sugar into a large bowl. Fold in 1 1/4 cups cream. If the dough is not soft or easily handled, fold in the remaining 1/4 cup cream, little by little.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface, mound it into a ball and, using your hands, gently press it to a thickness of about 3/4 inch. It does not need to be completely smooth across the top. Cut into rounds, 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Gather dough scraps and continue to make rounds.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat liner. Brush the tops with the butter. Bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately, or flash freeze (see note), for future use.

Notes

To Flash Freeze: place the unbaked biscuits on a lined baking sheet and place in the freezer until completely frozen (about 1-2 hours).

Once Frozen: the biscuits can carefully be placed in a ziploc bag and removed for baking as needed.

Baking From Frozen: biscuits can be baked straight from the freezer, and additional few minutes baking time will be needed, usually around 3 to 5.
