Ingredients
2
cups
all-purpose flour
2
teaspoons
sugar
2
teaspoons
baking powder
1/2
teaspoon
salt
1 and 1/4
cups
cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in cream until everything comes together into a dough, without over-mixing.
Turn out onto floured counter, press dough to 3/4-inch thickness, and use biscuit cutter, metal canning ring, or a floured cup rim to cut biscuits.
Pat together remaining dough to form as many biscuits as possible.
Bake on a stone or heavy baking sheet for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden.
Serve hot with butter and jam.
Notes
Milk won't work in this recipe. Since there isn't butter or other fats in this recipe, you need the fat from the cream.
Recipe from my friend Emily at One Lovely Life; she shared it ages ago and I've loved it ever since.
