Best Light Cream Biscuits Recipes

LIGHT CREAM BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
• Mix flour with half-and-half until combined. The mixture will be sticky, which is normal.
• Turn out dough onto a heavily-floured surface. Fold dough over on itself, dusting with flour as needed to keep it from sticking. Knead several times in this manner.
• Roll dough out into a 1/2 inch thick sheet. Use 3 inch ring mold to cut circles out of the dough. Place on baking sheet covered with non-stick cooking spray.
• Bake for 8 minutes or until golden brown. Serve while hot with butter or honey.

TWO-INGREDIENT CREAM BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine flour and heavy whipping cream in a bowl and mix until a sticky dough has formed.
• Flour a work surface. Knead until dough just comes together and roll dough into a 7-inch circle, about 1/2 inch thick. Dust top with more flour and fold over. Knead and roll again into a 7-inch circle. Be careful not to over-knead the dough.
• Cut out biscuits with a biscuit cutter and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits start to brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

HOW TO MAKE CREAM BISCUITS

Steps:

• Move an oven rack to the enter position of your oven; preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Combine self-rising flour and sugar in a mixing bowl; stir in cream until almost all the flour has been incorporated and dough is wet and sticky.
• Turn dough onto a well-floured work surface and gently press it into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Use a bench scraper to lift up ends of dough and fold dough into thirds. Press dough again into a thick rectangle.
• Roll dough out into a 6x10-inch rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Cut rounds from the dough using a 3-inch biscuit cutter. Gently press dough scraps together into a thick disk, roll out 1/2-inch thick, and cut 3 more biscuits. If any dough remains, lightly press it flat and cut one more biscuit from the remaining dough.
• Arrange biscuits on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops of biscuits generously with melted butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Brush hot biscuits with melted butter again and let stand 2 to 3 minutes to cool slightly before serving.
