These Flaky Biscuits are irresistibly tender and buttery, with beautifully defined layers that pull apart effortlessly. Made with simple ingredients like low-protein flour, cream, and butter, they bake up golden brown on the outside with a soft, airy texture inside. The baking powder ensures they rise beautifully, while the touch of vanilla adds a subtle sweetness that complements the rich, buttery flavor. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side for any meal, these biscuits are a delight on their own or topped with jam, honey, or a pat of butter. Enjoy the ultimate comfort food in every flaky bite!

Directions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  2. In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the egg mixture and mix everything thoroughly for 4-5 minutes until a dough forms. Place the dough in a plastic bag or cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 1 hour in the refrigerator.

  3. Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Divide the dough into several pieces of your desired size. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

  4. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until they’re lightly golden. Let cool slightly before serving.
