Stuff You Need

  • 3 cups (15 ounces / 425 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1¼ teaspoons table salt
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (optional)

Stuff to Know Before Baking

These biscuits come together quickly, so for efficiency, preheat your oven before gathering your ingredients.

Brushing them with melted butter adds a nice touch, but you can skip it if serving with a rich dish.

Prepare the Dough

Position the oven rack in the upper-middle slot and preheat to 450°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.

Microwave the cream until just warmed to body temperature (95–100°F), about 60 to 90 seconds, stirring once. Stir into the flour mixture until a soft, uniform dough forms.

Portion the Biscuits

Lightly coat a ⅓-cup measuring cup with oil spray. Scoop level portions of dough onto the prepared sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.

Respray the cup every 3 to 4 scoops. If needed, gently reshape into uniform rounds by hand.

Bake and Serve

Bake until lightly golden on top, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through.

If desired, brush with melted butter while hot. Serve warm.

For storage, keep in a sealed bag at room temperature up to 24 hours; reheat in a 300°F oven for 10 minutes.
