    Recipe Introduction


    Makes 12 to 14 biscuits

    This is my favorite biscuit, light as a feather and very easy to
    prepare. Biscuits are dropped from a tablespoon which eliminates kneading,
    rolling and cutting. follow the directions carefully, and your biscuits
    will be perfect every time.


    List of Ingredients




    1 1/4 cups flour
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    1/3 teaspoon salt
    1/4 cup COLD butter (1/2 stick) cut into 4 pieces
    1 1/8 cups cream

    Recipe



    Place flour, baking powder and salt in large bowl of an electric mixer.
    Beat for a few seconds to blend. Add the butter and beat until mixture
    resembles coarse meal. By hand, stir in the cream until blended.

    Drop batter by the heaping tablespoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet
    and bake in a 425 degrees F. oven for 20 minutes, or until tops are
    golden brown.

    NOTE: This is the basic recipe which is great for soups and salads. But
    there is no end to the number of variations you can use. The following
    are just a few. Use an herb or seasoning to match your meal.

    CHIVE BISCUITS: Add to the batter 1 tablespoon chopped chives.

    BACON BISCUITS: Add to the batter 2 tablespoons bacon, that has been
    cooked crisp, drained and crumbled.

    SESAME BISCUITS: Add to the batter 1 tablespoons sesame seeds.

    HERB BISCUITS: Add to the batter 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs or 1
    teaspoon dried herb flakes (not ground herbs.)

    PARMESAN BISCUITS: Sprinkle tops of biscuits with 1/2 teaspoon grated
    Parmesan cheese.

    POPPY SEED BISCITS: Sprinkle tops of biscuits with 1/4 teaspoon poppy
    seed.
