Originally From:
America's Test Kitchen Best 30 Minute Recipes
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 1/2 cups cream
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450°.
- In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients, stirring to mix them well.
- Gradually stir in cream until dough begins to form a ball. About 30 seconds.
- On a well floured surface, dump out the dough. It will be sticky.
- With floured hands, sprinkle the top with flour and turn the ball over once or twice to lightly coat it with flour just enough that it is not super sticky.
- Using just your flour-dusted hands, gently press the dough out until it is about 1 inch thick.
- Then cut into circles or wedges.
- Transfer the biscuits to cookie sheet lined with parchment and bake at 450° for 13-15 minutes or just until the tops begin to turn the faintest shade of brown.
