I have a confession. I love biscuits. However, I really hate rolling them out, cutting them out and, generally, the whole process of making any biscuit that doesn’t come out of a can. Until now. I have just discovered a recipe on Epicurious that will allow me to have biscuits without all the mess. You can use this technique to make Mom delicious cream biscuits for her breakfast in bed (or for afternoon tea or as a side for lunch).

Cream Drop Biscuits

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups chilled heavy cream

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Add cream, then stir just until a dough forms.

Drop heaping 1/4 cups of batter about 1 inch apart on an ungreased large baking sheet. Bake in middle of oven until tops are pale golden and bottoms are golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.

Makes 12 biscuits
