I now use a recipe from the Magnolia House Bed & Breakfast. They are so fluffy and light.
Cream Biscuits 2 cups plain flour 1 tsp salt 1 Tbls. baking powder 2 tsp. sugar 1 to 1 1/2 cups whipping cream (I usually use 1 cup) 1/2 stick melted butter Mix dry ingredients together in mixing bowl. Stir in whipping cream until it reaches the consistency you desire. Roll out dough and cut in small circles. Dip each biscuit in melted butter and bake at 425 degrees until lightly browned. Lynn |

This is my favorite biscuit recipe! Only 2 ingredients and they always turn out light and fluffy. That's right - no butter, Crisco, etc. There must be enough fat in the cream.
2 cups self-rising flour 1 1/2 to 2 cups whipping cream - no substitute Combine and stir with a fork until blended. The dough shouldn't be too stiff or dry, so add more whipping cream if needed. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 10 to 12 times only. Roll or pat dough to 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut with a 2" biscuit cutter (or a 2" glass) dipped in flour to keep from sticking to dough. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Yield: 1 dozen biscuits. My Momma always brushed the tops with melted bacon grease before baking....I do too when I have it. Biscuits are one of those recipes that you kind of do by "feel." I've made these so many times that I can tell by the feel of the dough when it is "just right." Hope you find a recipe that suits you "just right." |
That sounds good. I could eat my weight in biscuits.

I checked out this recipe.. it says "preheat oven to 500 degrees" WOW that seems really hot... do you use this oven setting? I usually preheat to 400 - 425 degrees. I think the secret to great biscuits is NOT to over work your dough. NowI am hungry ... I love baking powder biscuits...

So theres no butter or lard in the mix!? The butter is used only for dipping?

Yes, the fat in the whipping cream is replacing the lard or butter. I am interested in trying the buttermilk version seen in this post as it would be lower in fat.
