Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
How to Make Fluffy Biscuits with Cream Sauce
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk until well blended.
- Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Fold the dough over itself a few times to create layers, then cut it into rounds using a biscuit cutter.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the biscuits are baking, prepare the cream sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, cornstarch, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Drizzle the warm cream sauce over the biscuits and garnish with chopped parsley.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your butter is very cold for the flakiest biscuits.
- Don’t overmix the dough; a few lumps are okay.
- For even baking, make sure the biscuits are spaced evenly on the baking sheet.
- If you prefer a thinner cream sauce, add a little extra milk to the mixture until desired consistency is reached.
Easy Variations
- Add shredded cheese to the biscuit dough for a cheesy twist.
- Incorporate cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage into the cream sauce for added flavor.
- Top with sautéed mushrooms or spinach for a savory vegetable option.
- Serve with a poached egg on top for an extra protein boost.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side
- Scrambled eggs or a vegetable frittata for added protein
- Crispy bacon or sausage links for a heartier meal
- A light green salad with vinaigrette to balance the richness
