Easy Cream Biscuits

12" Dutch Oven

2 cups all-purpose flour

4 tsp baking powder

2 tsp sugar

1 tsp salt

3/4 to 1 cup heavy cream*

1/3 cup (2/3 cup) melted butter

Pre-warm Dutch oven.  Place the flour with the baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.  Slowly stir in only enough cream to form a soft dough.  Transfer the dough to a lightly floured board, knead lightly, and roll out to 1/2” thick.  Cut into biscuits, dip into melted butter on both sides, and place in the well-oiled Dutch oven.  Set aside for 10-15 minutes to proof.  Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown with 16 briquettes on top and 6 to 8 briquettes on bottom.

*If cream is less than 40% butter fat, add 1 to 2 tbsp of melted butter.
