Pot Pie Tops

Courses: Breads
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

1 1/2 cups 93g / 3.3ozSifted all-purpose unbleached flour
1 tablespoon 15mlGranulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons 7.5mlBaking powder
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlSalt
1/2 cup 118mlButtermilk
1/4 cup 59mlHeavy cream
5 tablespoons 75mlCold unsalted butter - cut in small pieces
1 tablespoon 15mlMelted butter

Recipe Instructions

In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. After the dry ingredients are thoroughly blended, add the buttermilk, cream and combine. Add the cold butter in rapid succession, combining only briefly, to leave the mixture as mealy as possible.

Scrape this lumpy dough onto a lightly-floured board and flatten gently with a rolling pin into a rectangle shape approximately 1-inch thick. Cut into 4 or 6 equal rounds. Brush a cookie sheet lightly with melted butter, place the rounds on the sheet and place the cookie sheet into the refrigerator to rest for 20 minutes, while you preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Bake the chilled shortcakes for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are nicely browned.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 (4-inch diameter) round biscuit tops.
