I’ve always wanted the simplest, quickest way to take flour and baking powder to make good biscuits. Could I do it quicker than baking a batch of frozen Biscuits?
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder (double-acting)
3⁄4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
DIRECTIONS
Sift dry ingredients together.
Fold in cream until it makes a soft dough that can be easily handled. (You may need to add up to a full cup of cream).
Turn on to a floured board and knead for about one minute.
I make these as drop biscuits: Take a large mound of dough (one heaping tablespoonful) and dip into melted butter.
Arrange biscuits on a baking sheet spritzed with baking spray. Bake at 425 for 15-18 minutes.
The BEST biscuits you will ever taste. And really simple
Frozen prepared food is very convenient, if quick is important.
Some of the frozen ones are deadly, unless you can stop eating them.
Very good scratch beats frozen but on a Sunday morning with a case of the zackly’s who cares.
I like Aldi’s house-brand Bisquick mix. For one cup of mix I grind in the coffee grinder *about* three Tbs of Publix house-brand grape nuts (MUCH cheaper than Post brand). Mix all with milk and then use the drop method with an ice cream scoop. Bake in an eight inch cast iron skillet. They’re quick and very good.
They’re awesome with cheese grits cooked in beef bullion/consume, but only on carb pig-out night.
