Cream Drop Biscuits

I am posting these because you can not just eat soup alone.

I have made these so many times and have spent enough on cream to be able to possible afford my own cow. I know there may be better recipes out there, but there is something so satisfying in having these light fluffy things out of the oven and melting in your mouth in less then 30 minutes.

Serve them with soup, tea, breakfast, or a naughty high carb meal all on their own. Yes, we have done this. If you have some jelly or jam to use up this is am excellent way.

Enjoy!

CREAM DROP BISCUITS

If you’re in the mood for a real breakfast treat, hot cream biscuits slathered with butter and jam can be just the thing. Try them with the quick strawberry jam.

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups chilled heavy cream

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Add cream, then stir just until a dough forms.

Drop heaping 1/4 cups of batter about 1 inch apart on an ungreased large baking sheet. Bake in middle of oven until tops are pale golden and bottoms are golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.

Makes 12 biscuits
