High As A Kite Biscuits
From krumkake 15 years agoIngredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour shopping list
- 1 tablespoon baking powder shopping list
- 1 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1 tablespoon sugar (you can add more if you want a sweeter biscuit) shopping list
- 1½ cups heavy whipping cream (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE - I've tried! These biscuits will only pop up sky-high if you use heavy cream - they were flat and not fluffy inside when I tried half-and-half or whole milk) shopping list
How to make it
- In a medium bowl, stir together all ingredients just until the dough forms a ball and ingredients are moistened.
- Turn the dough out onto a work surface that is dusted with a very small amount of additional flour.
- Fold the dough in ½ and press down with the palms of your hands; knead the dough this way for 5 to 7 times more, adding just enough flour to keep the dough from sticking to your hands and work surface.
- Gently press dough out to about 3/4" thickness; cut dough into 3” size rounds (use a cookie cutter or a small juice glass).
- Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and place biscuits on it, leaving at least 1” between each biscuit.
- Bake at 480 degrees (yes, a very hot oven!) for about 10 minutes, until golden brown on bottoms and tops.
- You need to watch them closely at the end so you don't burn the bottoms - they require a hot oven, so don't try to reduce the heat.
- Just keep an eye on them and when the tops are nicely golden brown, the bottoms should be, too.
- If you forget to check them and you end up burning the bottoms (and I HAVE done this!!), just cut off the bottoms of the biscuits and they will be fine to eat!
- Note: For holidays, try using different cookie cutter shapes, like hearts, holly leaf, etc.
