Someone on another board was asking about what they could substitute for cream in two ingredient cream biscuits. That’s why I put together this list, as a comparison of fats in various products. I wasn’t concerned about nutrition or the kinds of fats in the product.
.
They were asking if they could substitute buttermilk for the cream, or other things in their kitchen pantry so they wouldn’t have to go to the store. You can see there is a vast difference in fat between heavy cream and buttermilk.
.
Here’s the recipe (paraphrased)
.
Two-Ingredient Southern Cream Biscuits (Paraphrased)
.
from Nathalie Dupree and Cynthia Graubart and their book, “Southern Biscuits”.
.
2 cups White Lily Self-Rising Flour (or other Self-Rising Flour that uses soft Southern wheat)
1 cup whipping cream
.
Mix until just moistened, don’t over mix.
.
Turn onto counter and pat into a 1/2 inch high rectangle. Fold dough in half, on top of itself and pat again into a 1/2 inch high rectangle.
.
Cut out with 2 1/4 inch biscuit cutter. Stack scraps and press into another 1/2 inch high rectangle. Cut out until dough is gone.
.
Bake for about 12-minutes at a 475° oven: bake for 6 minutes, rotate the pan, then check back after an additional 4 minutes or so to check if they’re golden brown on top. Brush with melted butter and serve warm.
.
.
To make self-rising flour, add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp table salt to each cup of flour.
.
To make a lighter flour (similar to White Lily), mix half cake flour with half all-purpose flour.
.
Another substitute for soft Southern flour, not quite as tender, for each cup of regular all-purpose flour, replace 2 Tablespoons of flour with cornstarch.
(1 cup lightened all-purpose flour = 14 Tbsp flour and 2 Tbsp cornstarch.)
