Snowy Saturday Biscuits

If any or all of the following conditions apply:

a) It's Saturday

b) It's snowing out

c) You don't have anywhere else to be

d) You want to make yourself something delicious to eat, but you know dick about cooking

Then  I'd suggest that you make yourself some biscuits.

And I'd suggest you enjoy them plain or with butter or with black raspberry preserves. I'd also suggest you serve it to yourself in your grandmother's dish.

And I'd always, always suggest that you keep individual bottles of bubbly in your fridge--along with either orange juice (for a mimosa) or peach nectar and peach schnapps (for a bellini--my choice).

And I'd finally suggest that you enjoy your beverage out of a short champagne glass instead of a tall one, because that's just how I roll, and we all know how awesome I am.

These biscuits are so easy--I swear to God, Lucy could make these--and they take no time at all. And you can trust my fat ass when I tell you that they are delicious.

CREAM BISCUITS

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus some for the counter
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

Adjust oven rack to the upper-middle position and heat oven to 450. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Stir in cream with a wooden spoon until dough forms, about 30 seconds. Turn dough onto floured counter, gather into a ball, and knead briefly (about 30 seconds) until smooth.

Pat the dough into a 3/4-inch-thick circle. cut biscuits into 8 rounds or use a knife to slice into 8 wedges (which is what I do, as evidenced by the awesome photography above). Place biscuits onto baking sheet. Bake about 15 minutes until golden brown.

If you'd like a free batch, just spend the night here at the house with me and Lucy--they'll be waiting for you when you wake up. Otherwise, you'll just have to make your own. :)
