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.
Ahh I love biscuits, warm biscuits are such a weakness for me. I’m trying to cut down on my carbs (insane, I know!?) but a fresh batch of these would be my instant undoing.
Cutting down on carbs?! Bah – I won’t hear of it! These are certainly not “diet” food, but if you close your eyes and just eat them, the deliciousness melts away any guilt. xx
With fried eggs and strawberry jam (whcih go soooooo well together I swear!!!)
I think I’m on this! I had this weekend reserved for making spelt pizza – biscuits for breakfast, pizza for dinner…yay!
Did u get my pinenut bar message?? My husband is crazy for them but (because I weirdly subbed coconut oil for the butter) they are rock hard when refrigerated and have to be allowed to ‘warm up’ before consumption. He doesn’t mind, but I find it frustrating. Baking with coconut oil = don’t do it. xox
Girl you gotta stick to the butter! Coconut oil does sound tasty though. I used white chocolate infused with coconut the second time I made these and it was an explosion of flavor. xx
I’m a sucker for good biscuits…especially when they are smothered in sausage gravy. Have you ever tried that? If not, you definitely should. SO YUMMY!
Sausage gravy needs to meet my face asap. It’s been years, but you’re SO right, Erika – it’s so yummy!
I have a serious love of biscuits at breakfast. I think I just might surprise my boy with these one of these mornings. He too has a particular fondness of good biscuits – and really these look like GOOD biscuits!
Kristy – these are the biscuits. It’s my new one and only… for now. Let me know how you and your boy like them 🙂
I’m hungry now!
You could be getting down with these biscuits in 18 minutes flat… do it.
I posted a biscuit recipe yesterday too! Your photos are beautiful and put mine to shame.
Great minds think alike 🙂
I love these biscuits. Yours look so tasty!
Thank you! They were so tasty – they some how were both light and rich all in one wonderful little biscuit.
ohhhh, i loooooooooove! want them warm out the oven with butter and strawberry jam {or quince jam}… i’m daydreaming now 😉 thanks for a little escape from reality… have a great day
I slathered a few in raspberry jam – divine! Strawberry and quince jam would be amazing, too 🙂
ps-loved the Bon Iver video and song. First time I’ve heard them (him?). Awesome.
Omg Kate – I am immersed completely in their new album right now. Their latest album is irresistible.
Fabulous. I could totally makes these for breakfast (or let’s be honest-anytime at all!) and they would all fit in my tiny Japanese oven. Win!
Total WIN! And – you could freeze a few to bake up later in the week for super fresh hot-out-the-oven biscuits any day you fancy 🙂
