Buttery Cream Dream Biscuits

1. Preheat Oven

First, preheat your oven to 400°F to get it warmed up and ready for baking.

2. Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, 4 teaspoons of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.

3. Add Butter

Take 6 tablespoons of cold butter, cut into small pieces, and add them to the flour mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, gently work the butter into the flour until the pieces are about the size of small peas.

4. Add Heavy Cream

Measure out 0.75 cup of heavy cream, but set aside 1 tablespoon for later. Pour the remaining heavy cream into the flour and butter mixture. Use a fork to stir everything together until just combined.

5. Knead and Roll Dough

Lightly knead the dough a couple of times in the bowl to bring everything together. Then, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and gently roll it out to a thickness of about 0.75 inch.

6. Cut Biscuits

Using a cookie cutter or a knife, cut the dough into eight 1.5-inch circles or squares. If necessary, you can gather the scraps and reroll them to cut out more biscuits.

7. Brush with Cream

Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are spaced slightly apart. Brush the tops with the reserved 1 tablespoon of heavy cream to give them a lovely golden finish.

8. Bake Biscuits

Bake the biscuits in your preheated oven for 17 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and lightly golden on top. Serve warm, and enjoy the buttery, creamy goodness of these dream biscuits.
