Forget the Carbquik recipe on the box and make these. Absolutely wonderful, yummy tasting biscuits, you will love this recipe!

Here’s how you do it...
2 cups Carbquik
4 Tablespoons cold butter
1 heaping Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup cream (may take more, depending on humidity)
Pulse the chunks of cold butter with the Carbquik and baking powder in a food processor. Add cream and pulse to combine, adding more if they seem dry. Just feel them, and when you can make a ball with your hand, you’re good to go.
I don’t attempt to roll these, i just form them into a biscuit shape with my hands. Don’t overwork, and they will be really light and fluffy.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Pat biscuits onto a baking sheet, I used a Silopat, it browns them really well
Bake at 450 degrees for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden brown. I bake in a convection oven and it takes 7-8 minutes.
This recipe makes 8 large biscuits. Adding the extra baking powder makes them rise. Very tender biscuits with a good crumb, they’re really excellent.
