Morning comforts.

This is a James Beard On Bread Recipe.  That James…he sure is good.

2 cups flour

2 tablespoons of butter

1 1/4 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon of salt

* I halved the recipe to make 7 biscuits

1. preheat oven to 450

2. sift together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt

3. melt butter and set aside

4. add about 1 1/4 cup of heavy cream to the flour until the dough holds together but isn’t too sticky.  Use the reserved 1/4 cup heavy cream if necessary

5. on a lightly floured surface form the dough into a disc about 3/4 inch thick

6. use a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.  you will have to re-form the dough a few times after cutting out a few rounds to maximize the dough

7. brush the tops with the melted butter

8. bake for 10-15 minutes
