The Worlds Greatest Biscuits

We can't take credit for this recipe, it comes from the book "Baking From My Home To Yours" by Dorie Greenspan. I have to say that these are the easiest and the best biscuits I have ever tasted. They contain no butter at all yet are still the super flaky and just all around superb. They are actualy supposed to be sweet cream biscuits but we do them savory. The batch below has garlic and rosemary in the batter and are topped with sea salt and smoked paprika and finally cheese before baking. We've done them with pretty much every spice imaginable though and they are always super fast and great. You can actually make the batter before and have them on the sheet pan before the oven is up to temp!

Sweet Cream Biscuits

2 cups all purpose flour
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
2 Teaspoons Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 Cups Heavy Cream

Preheat the oven to 425. Mix the dry ingredients (adding any spices you like), add the heavy cream working as little as possible but incorporating fully. Shape into a disk about half an inch high on a sheet pan. Top with kosher salt and cheese and any more spices you choose. Bake about 15 minutes.
