- Ready In:
- 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
10 biscuits
- Serves:
- 10
ingredients
- 1 1⁄4 cups cake flour
- 3⁄4 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 cup butter, cold & cut into chunks
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 3⁄4 cup heavy cream
directions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Cut butter into small chunks and return to the refrigerator to keep cold.
- Put 1 tablespoon cider vinegar in the bottom of a measuring cup and add the heavy cream to equal 3/4 cup. Set aside.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a food processor bowl.
- Add the butter and pulse until no chunks of butter are obvious (kinda crumbly, but will be mostly flour).
- Pour in the heavy cream which will appear curdled, pulsing until mixed. You'll have to use a spatula to scrape the curdled cream from the cup.
- Once the dough looks more combined and almost forms a ball, remove from food processor bowl to a floured surface.
- Pat the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Try not to overwork the dough.
- Cut biscuits with sharp biscuit cutter; do not twist the cutter, just punch down and remove. You'll have to re-roll the dough but keep in mind, the less working of the dough, the flakier the biscuit will be. They'll still taste just as good.
- Place the biscuits in a round baking pan, with sides of biscuits touching each other as much as possible and/or touching the sides of the pan (do not grease pan).
- Bake for about 10 minutes or lightly browned.
- Serve with pepper gravy, sausage gravy, chocolate gravy or simply butter & honey, plain butter, or butter and sugar!
