Hi Deb,
I have tried all of your biscuit recipes, and up until now, your cream biscuits were my favorite! However, I checked out the 2009 Americas Test Kitchen cookbook (http://www.amazon.com/Best-Americas-Test-Kitchen-2009/dp/1933615338/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1327950351&sr=1-1) and in there is the most fantastic drop biscuit recipe. I thought you might like to try it!
Their blueberry scones look great too, but I haven’t tried them yet…

I LOVE these biscuits. I did put them into my Weight Watchers recipe builder. I didn’t publish them in the community boards because I didn’t want to use it in a way that wasn’t authorized, but I had to know how many points to add into my day. These are too good to go without, even if they are 7 points!

This is such a great recipe…I use it all the time, after getting it originally from “Beard on Bread.” I find that the amount of cream required varies each time I make it, so I usually add 1 c. and then see what else is needed. I’ve also found that it really makes no difference if you sift or not, so now I just add the dry ingredients together and whisk them to combine. Easily my favorite biscuit recipe, though. So good with melted cheese and an over-medium egg w/ Tabasco sauce!

I really like these. I made them for a brunch and they were great…better than any other recipe I have ever followed. I made them the night before…dipped them in butter and froze them on the baking tray. Took them out the next day and straight into the oven. They were fantastic :) Thanks for the wonderful recipe.

I made these for Thanksgiving dinner and they were very well received! I’m going to make more and freeze them so I can have them whenever I want.

I made these this morning and they were heavenly–the kind of light and rich biscuits I love. Because I was too lazy to run to the store, I scaled the recipe back for the 1 cup of cream I had in the house. Turned out great. Thanks for the recipe; it’s definitely going to be made over and over.

I just made these for Thanksgiving (not having made biscuits ever before) and they were amazing. I used heavy whipping cream, probably 1-1/4 and a few TB. I had trouble dipping them into butter and, lacking a pastry brush, I just spooned a little bit on each one and used the back of the spoon to swirl it around the top. Worked great! Deb, I also just made your chocolate pudding pie for Thanksgiving dessert (being among pumpkin pie dislikers) and it was ah.may.zing.

this is like the magical biscuit recipe! i am a very inexperienced biscuit maker, and have recently moved to the south. no one can believe these biscuits came from my kitchen. they’re perfect. and obviously fool proof. i thought that was impossible for a biscuit…

P.S. Did not sift the ingredients and they were light a fluffy anyway!
