Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for creamy sauce)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

How to Make Biscuits with Creamy Sauce

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in 3/4 cup of whole milk and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently about 5-6 times. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
  6. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps, reshape, and cut out additional biscuits.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  8. While the biscuits are baking, prepare the creamy sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of flour until smooth.
  9. Add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  10. Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm, drizzled with the creamy sauce and garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

  • For extra flaky biscuits, ensure your butter is very cold before incorporating it into the flour.
  • Avoid overmixing the dough to maintain the light texture of the biscuits.
  • If you want a richer sauce, you can add a splash of white wine or some grated cheese to the creamy sauce.

Easy Variations

  • Add shredded cheese to the biscuit dough for a cheesy twist.
  • Incorporate chopped herbs like chives or parsley into the creamy sauce for added flavor.
  • Serve the biscuits with sautéed mushrooms or crispy bacon for a heartier meal.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
  • Scrambled eggs or an omelet for a complete breakfast.
  • A light green salad with a vinaigrette to balance the richness of the dish.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5-7 minutes to restore their flakiness. The creamy sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stove over low heat before serving.
