One Sunday morning we woke up feeling a little groggy after a particularly long game of Trivial Pursuit the night before and a little over indulgence with some Russian Imperial Stout..... (Aren't our Saturday nights exciting??) I needed to find something hearty to fill our bellies with and I was out of bacon. Did you know that bacon cures everything? Really! It does! I decided to try this biscuit recipe off one of my favorite food blogs the Orangette. Molly Wizenberg's writing is so honest and thoughtful, if you haven't already done so, check her blog out! Like most recipes she posts these biscuits were delicious and super simple! They won't win any beauty awards, but it's the taste that counts! I have already taste tested them on my mom and good friends and they were a big hit all around. Serve with Jam!
Cream Biscuits
Makes 12
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon TABLE salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it really well. Mix the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar in a large bowl with a fork. Slowly add about a cup of cream, stirring. Gather the dough together, when it starts to hold together it's ready to knead. If it feels shaggy, add a little more cream. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for about a minute. form the dough into a square about a 1/2 inch thick. With a knife, cut into 12 equal squares. Place on baking sheet and brush all biscuits with melted butter. Bake for 15 minutes.
