5 Ingredient Freezer Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 1 pint heavy whipping cream

Directions

1. In a large bowl, stir the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder until everything is evenly mixed. Add the heavy cream and stir until the dough gathers into a sticky ball. Dust the dough generously with flour, then move it onto a floured work surface. Knead it gently 2-3 times, stopping as soon as it feels combined and has taken on enough flour to no longer be sticky. Try not to fuss with it too much.
2. Pat the dough gently into a 6x8 rectangle, then fold it in half. Repeat that folding process 2 more times. Those folds are what help give the biscuits their layers.
3. After the last fold, pat the dough into a 6x8 rectangle one final time. It should be about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into 12 squares.
4. Cover a baking sheet with parchment, then arrange the cut biscuits on top with just a little space between them. Cover them with plastic wrap and freeze for a couple of hours, or until they are solid. Label and date a gallon-sized freezer bag. Transfer the frozen biscuits to the bag for long-term storage, 3-4 months.
5. When you are ready to bake, put as many biscuits as you want on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let them thaw only while the oven heats to 400ºF. Once the oven is ready, bake until the biscuits have risen tall and the tops are a deep golden brown. Depending on your oven and the biscuit size, this should take about 18-22 minutes if frozen, or 16-20 minutes if fresh.
