Recipe Corner: Fluffy Biscuits

I found this recipe somewhere on the internet a while ago and it has become my family's favorite biscuit recipe, especially when served with sausage gravy! Give it a try and I am sure your family will love it too!

Fluffy Biscuits
makes about 8- 10 biscuits
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (can be increased if you want sweeter)
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream (cannot substitute and maintain the same results)
  1. Preheat oven to 480 (not a typo, really hot oven! yes really, 480!)
  2. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray
  3. In a medium bowl combine all the dry ingredients.
  4. Add cream (no substitutions... they won't get as fluffy, trust me, I've tried!)
  5. Stir together just until it sticks together and forms a ball.
  6. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently press dough out to about 3/4" thickness.
  7. Cut out biscuits using about a 3" biscuit cutter, or a glass will do!
  8. Place biscuits on the greased cookie sheet leaving about an inch in between.
  9. Bake in your preheated, very hot oven, for approximately 10 minutes, until golden brown on the top and the bottom. They will rise pretty tall while baking and will sink a bit after you take them out.
I recommend serving hot with sausage gravy to drown them in! YUMMY!
