BAKING POWDER BISCUITS


My family and I love baking powder biscuits for breakfast.  I didn't make them very often because there wasn't enough time to get them done before my kids headed off for school.  I got this recipe from my friend Loralee.  These biscuits are quick and easy to make.  They remind me of the biscuits that you get at Kentucky Fried Chicken.  This has now become my favorite biscuit recipe and I make them quite often now, even on school days.

Recipe:

2 cups flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups cream

 

                                                                         

Using a whisk, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.






Stir in cream until just combined.

The dough will be quite sticky.





                                                                             








Place on floured surface.










Knead only 25 turns.  It's fine if the
dough is a little sticky.  Less flour makes a more moist and tender biscuit.



 Pat or roll to 1/2" thick. Cut and place on a greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 450 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.







There is nothing better any morning, than a hot biscuit served with your favorite jam, honey or sausage gravy.



                       ENJOY!
