Kenji's Five-Ingredient Biscuits

subheading: For every 3 biscuits:

1 cup (120 g) all purpose or soft wheat flour

1½ teaspoons (about 5g) baking powder

¼ teaspoon (about 3g) kosher salt (if using table salt, that’s ⅛ teaspoon)

⅔ cup heavy cream

Preheat an oven to 425F.

Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

Add the heavy cream and mix into a shaggy dough. Do not knead it.

Dump it onto a floured work surface and for it into a rough log about 3 inches wide and 9 inches long.

Cut it into three biscuits with a sharp knife.

Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

You can brush biscuits with heavy cream or melted butter before baking for darker and more even browning, if you wish.
