Frosted Walnut Cream Biscuits

 

Frosted Walnut Cream Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

 

Frosting:

• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream (adjust for consistency)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Extra chopped walnuts for garnish

 

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Biscuits:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
   • Add cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Stir in the chopped walnuts.
   • In a separate bowl, combine heavy cream and vanilla extract. Slowly pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
   • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times.
   • Pat the dough to about 1-inch thickness and cut it into rounds using a biscuit cutter.
   • Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
   • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
2. Prepare the Frosting:
   • In a medium bowl, mix the powdered sugar, melted butter, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and thick. If necessary, add more cream to reach a smooth, spreadable consistency.
3. Frost the Biscuits:
   • Once the biscuits are cool, spread the frosting generously over each one.
   • Garnish with extra chopped walnuts on top.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Serve these biscuits slightly warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
