Today, we’re talking about the letter B.
Breakfast, biscuits, boys, baking, butter, belgium beer, Bon Iver… … …. The letter B is bomb.
While we’re examining this fine list of B words, let’s jump back to the first two: Breakfast and Biscuits. Biscuits and Breakfast. My heart just skipped a beat. Breakfast is where it’s at, and biscuits is making it happen. You dig?
I made these biscuits this morning… for a boy… we ate them… all of them. The End.
Kidding!! I’ll stick around another 3 minutes just to ensure I’ve thoroughly convinced you to scurry to the kitchen and make these.
So… Biscuits are ridiculously good. You know this. But these biscuits… These biscuits own breakfast town. They dominate any other breakfast biscuit I’ve ever had with heavy pounding fists. Obviously they mean business in the delicious category.
And if you weren’t already melting your butter over these, they take a total of 18 minutes and 5 ingredients to be on your table and in your belly. It’s as simple as sift, mix, bake, eat.
So simple!!
Straight out of the oven these biscuits are creamy pillows of heaven. With some spicy sausage, sweet coffee, and fried eggs – you’re on your way to breakfast bliss. Make these for that handsome hungry man or woman you adore… breakfast is for lovers.

Yields 10- 12 biscuits depending on how you roll and cut your dough
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the surface
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt butter in a small pot or microwave dish, and set aside. Sift two cups flour, the baking powder, salt and (if using) sugar into a large bowl. Fold in 1 1/4 cups cream. If the dough is not soft or easily handled, fold in the remaining 1/4 cup cream, little by little. (I used all 1 1/2 cups by the end of my mixing.)
Turn dough onto a floured surface, mound it into a ball and, using your hands, press it to a thickness of about 3/4 inch. Cut into rounds, 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Gather dough scraps and continue to make rounds. Dip the top of each round in melted butter and arrange on the baking sheet. Bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. (My oven had them ready in 10 minutes, so keep a close eye if you know your oven runs on the hotter side.) Serve immediately, or flash freeze for future use.
biscuits and honey are one of my FAV things to eat. perfect for a weekend morning 🙂
I have been going through a major honey faze myself – love it on anything!!
I’ve never heard of Bon Iver, he sings so beautifully. I’m going to see if I can find something on Itunes and listen to him while making these biscuits for tonight at dinner. They’d go perfect with some salad I plan on serving. Thanks for sharing
That sounds like a perfect night! He does sing gorgeously; I’m fully in love with his voice. Let me know how they come out, love! xx
Thanks, girl! I felt very retro sesame street waxing on and on about the letter B 🙂
Are these the same as scones? They look so similar, and the name really throws me, as a Brit – we call biscuits what you call cookies. From the other comments they seem at least similar, so I’m down with that. Crack them open, slather on some butter and jam – yummy 😀 Love the look of these… I love your mixing bowl too, I’ve never seen one like it – very unconventional! 😀
Not the same as scone. Scones are usually much sweeter… and in my experience more dry than a biscuit. It all gets confusing, eh?! As for my mixing bowl – it’s a salad bowl converted 🙂
Those biscuits look even more delicious than you claim! Nothing quite like a fresh, warm biscuit straight out of the oven with some butter. Ah, yes, Bon Iver. One of my favorite ‘B’ words. A bunch of my friends saw him live the other month. Not sure why I wasn’t able to go, but I’m still bitter about it.
Bitter is another great B word 🙂 Bummer you didn’t get to see him!!
Nice biscuits! I’m now craving one for breakfast!
you should have one for breakfast!! sooooo easy to make!!
Mmm, biscuits…there’s nothing quite so wonderful as a warm one slathered with lots of good butter. So good.
Agreed!
Oh gracious these look amazing!
Thanks Rach! They are super yummy breakfast food!
Smart girl 🙂
