Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour plus more
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled butter, cubed
• 1 1/2 cups (or more) heavy cream plus more for brushing

Preparation

Step 1

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°. Whisk 4 cups flour and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl. Add butter; blend with your fingers until pea-size pieces form. Add 1 1/2 cups cream; stir until dough forms, adding more cream by tablespoons if dry. Transfer to a lightly floured surface; roll to 3/4” thickness. Using biscuit cutter, cut into rounds. Repeat until all dough is used.

Transfer biscuits to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with cream and transfer to oven. Bake until golden brown, 25–30 minutes. Serve warm with Tomato and Crawfish gravies.
