 COMMENT:
These sweet, golden brown biscuits are perfect to go with your brunch
buffet or afternoon tea. Serve them with fresh fruit, lemon curd
or your favorite homemade preserves.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp double acting baking powder
- 3-4 tbsps sugar, depending on desired sweetness
- ½ tsp salt
- 1¼ cups heavy cream
- whole milk, for brushing tops of biscuits
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, sift together
the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Slowly add the cream and
stir the mixture until it just forms a dough. Gather the dough into
a ball and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Roll or pat out
the dough into a ½ inch thickness. Cut out as many rounds
as possible with a 2½-inch cutter and transfer them to an
ungreased baking sheet. Gather the scraps, re-roll the dough and
cut out more rounds until you have used up all of the dough. Brush
the tops of the biscuits lightly with the milk and bake the biscuits
for 15 minutes or until they are golden brown. Transfer the biscuits
to a rack and let them cool for 5 minutes.
