Small Batch Dream Biscuits

What do you get when you cross drop biscuits with cream biscuits? You get a Dream Biscuits! This is my small-batch take on ATK’s dream biscuit recipe. My revision makes only 3 biscuits so it’s perfect for times when you don’t need an entire batch of a dozen biscuits in the house. The recipe comes together in mere minutes using just a mixing bowl and silicone spatula.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking powder.

Next we need to add the heavy cream that has been warmed to 95-100F. If you don’t have an instant read thermometer, just warm the cream until it’s about body temperature. DO NOT attempt to use cream that has not been warmed to the proper temperature. Warming the cream makes it more viscous thereby enabling it to moisten all the dry ingredients. Cold cream is too thick to work effectively in this recipe.

Pour the warm cream over the dry ingredients.

Use a silicone spatula to mix until a smooth paste forms.

To portion the biscuit dough, spray a 1/4-cup measure with nonstick cooking spray. You should get 3 biscuits from the dough. Turn the measure upside down and allow the dough to fall onto a parchment-lined mini sheet pan (I used a small 1/8 size sheet pan). Sorry, I missed getting a photo before the biscuits were baked.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden on top.

Melt the tablespoon of butter and immediately brush on biscuit tops.

Mmmmmmmm.

Enjoy!
