Cream Biscuits

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
About 1 1/4 cups heavy (whipping) cream

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Sift dry ingredients into a bowl. Add 1 1/4 cups of heavy cream and stir with a fork until dough gathers into a ball. You may have to add another another tablespoon or so of cream (better too damp than too dry).

Turn out onto floured surface and pat or roll to about 1/2-inch thickness. Cut biscuits and put on a lightly greased sheet. Gather any remaining scraps, pat together and cut additional biscuits. You may brush with additional cream, if desired.

Bake on middle oven rack for 12 to 15 minutes or until pale golden. Transfer to rack to cool or serve hot.

Though there are very many nations all over the earth, …there are no more than two kinds of human society, which we may justly call two cities, …one consisting of those who live according to man, the other of those who live according to God ….To the City of Man belong the enemies of God, …so inflamed with hatred against the City of God. — Saint Augustine

                          blueberry buttermilk biscuits

                          Blueberry Buttermilk Biscuits

                          2 cups all-purpose flour
                          1 tablespoon baking powder

                          1 teaspoon salt
                          1/2 cup granulated sugar
                          1 teaspoon grated orange rind
                          1/3 cup shortening
                          1 egg, beaten
                          3/4 cup buttermilk
                          1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
                          3 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
                          3 tablespoons granulated sugar
                          1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
                          Dash of nutmeg

                          In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar and orange rind together. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.

Add the blueberries. Stir gently just to mix. Turn dough out onto floured surface or cloth and gently knead 3 or 4 times. Roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with biscuit cutter or into desired shapes. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes or until golden.

                          Mix butter with sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and brush onto tops of biscuits as they come from the oven.

                          Makes 12 to 15 biscuits.
