INSTRUCTIONS
Heat oven to 375°. Place rack in the center of the oven. Sift together
the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, ginger, cloves and pepper. Using a
pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until the mixture resembles
coarse meal. In a small bowl, whisk together milk and molasses until
completely combined. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and
add the milk and molasses. Using a fork, stir the mixture until almost
combined. Gently bring the remaining smaller dough particles together with
your fingertips. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and pat into
rounds with a 2 inch cookie cutter. Gently press the excess dough together
and cut more biscuits until dough is gone. Transfer biscuits to a
parchment-lined baking sheet; generously brush tops with cream. Bake until
golden brown, 24 to 26 minutes. Cool on racks before serving. Yield: 10
