Cream Biscuits

From the kitchen of Carly

Buttery, tender biscuits made with heavy cream instead of buttermilk for a richer crumb and softer bite. Golden and flaky straight from the oven, they're built to soak up gravy. Pure comfort on a plate.

Ingredients

4 servings

  • 14 cups all-purpose flour plus more
  • 12 tablespoons sugar
  • 11 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 11 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 11/2 cup (1 stick) chilled butter, cubed
  • 11 1/2 cups (or more) heavy cream plus more for brushing
  • 1A 3"-diameter biscuit cutter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Whisk 4 cups flour and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl. Add butter; blend with your fingers until pea-size pieces form. Add 1 1/2 cups cream; stir until dough forms, adding more cream by tablespoonfuls if dry. Transfer to a lightly floured surface; roll to 3/4" thickness. Using biscuit cutter, cut into rounds. Repeat until all dough is used.
