Ingredients
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 240 milliliters cold heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional, for brushing)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Gradually pour in the cold heavy cream, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch-thick (2.5 cm) rectangle.
Step 5
Use a floured 2.5-inch (6 cm) round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure the biscuits rise properly. Gather and re-roll scraps as needed but handle the dough minimally.
Step 6
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. For softer sides, arrange them closer together so that they touch.
Step 7
If desired, brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
