These Cream Biscuits are deliciously tender, buttery, and ready to eat in about 20 minutes.

Simple Cream Biscuits

unbleached, all-purpose flour

tbsp baking powder

sugar

tsp salt

heavy cream

tbsp salted butter, melted

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and heat the oven to 400 degrees.

Add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Stir with a wire whisk to combine. Slowly pour in the cream, stirring with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, just until all the dry ingredients are moistened. Using your hands, knead the dough inside the bowl 4 or 5 times to bring it together. Do not over work the dough.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and pat into a circle that's approximately 1-inch thick. Run a spatula underneath the dough to unstick it from your work surface. Then, using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and lay them on the parchment covered baking sheet, spacing them evenly. You should get 10-12 biscuits, re-patting the scraps as necessary.

Brush the tops of the biscuits with about half of the melted butter and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the tops of the biscuits are a light golden brown.

Immediately brush the tops of the biscuits with the remaining melted butter and serve.

Just made these for dinner! I baked the first batch like you said and the second batch I flipped them halfway through. We ended up liking the second batch a little better because they held together better and had a crispy golden top and bottom.

Hi Missy! I love that you flipped them over halfway through baking! What a great idea. I made a batch this morning and wish I would have seen your comment before I baked them because now I can't wait to try that! Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know that you enjoyed this recipe! xo
