Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for work surface
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
Rhubarb Compote

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a food processor, combine flour, butter, baking powder, salt, and 1/3 cup sugar and process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add milk and pulse just until moistened, 4 to 5 times.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. With floured hands, gently pat into a 4-by-8-inch rectangle. Cut dough into 8 squares and transfer to a baking sheet; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Let biscuits cool on baking sheet.
  • In a large bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form. Add 2 tablespoons sugar and beat until soft peaks return. To serve, split biscuits with a serrated knife; sandwich with Rhubarb Compote and whipped cream.
