Ingredients
For shortcake:
- 2 cups (248g) all purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups (356ml) heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a cookie sheet with butter or shortening.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl.
- Add the heavy whipping cream and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough comes together. It should become a thick dough and if needed, use your hands to finish working it together.
- Using two spoons, scoop out and drop biscuits on prepared cookie sheets. Depending on size, you’ll get about 8 biscuits, unless you want them smaller.
- Bake for about 14-16 minutes, or until the tops and bottoms are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through. I recommend rotating the pan halfway though baking for even cooking. Cool biscuits before serving.
