Sweet Biscuits


This is not a biscuit. But it goes well with biscuits.
Short & sweet says it all!


Sweet Fruit Biscuits:

2 cups Flour
4 tsp Baking Powder
3/4 tsp Fine Salt
1/3 cup Sugar + extra for tops
6oz Sweet Butter(cold & cut into bits)
1 cup Cream+ extra for top
1/2 cup Fruit

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Mix together dries (and dried fruit if using).
  • Cut in butter.
  • Add cream, do not over mix.
  • Add fruit, if dried, mix with dries, if fresh or frozen, toss it in last.
  • Pat into square on a floured worktable, about 1/2 inch high.
  • Cut into squares - you can freeze some on a sheet pan at this point (once frozen you can toss them into a zip bag and back in the freezer).
  • To bake, brush with cream, sprinkle with sugar (fun sugar if you have) and bake until golden.
