Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure your oven is at the right temperature when you’re ready to bake the biscuits.
- Whisk the Flour: In a large bowl, whisk the self-rising flour well to aerate it. This step will help the biscuits rise beautifully while baking.
- Add the Cream: Slowly pour in the heavy whipping cream while gently stirring with a spoon or spatula. Be careful not to over-mix the dough; it should remain a little sticky.
- Roll and Cut the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Gently roll it out to about 1-inch thickness. Use a coffee cup or biscuit cutter to cut out biscuit rounds. If you don’t have a cutter, any round shape can work, as long as the dough is evenly cut.
- Bake the Biscuits: Place the cut biscuits on a baking sheet or a cast-iron (CI) pan. Bake them at 400°F for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and have risen nicely. Adjust the time as needed based on your oven.
- Finishing Touch: Once the biscuits are golden and fluffy, remove them from the oven. Brush the tops with melted butter immediately to add extra flavor and a nice shiny finish.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve your warm biscuits with butter, jam, or as a side to your favorite meals.
Notes
- Don’t Overwork the Dough: The key to fluffy biscuits is not overworking the dough. Mix gently until the cream and flour are just combined.
- Baking in a CI Pan: For crispy, beautifully browned bottoms, use a cast-iron (CI) skillet. This helps the biscuits get that perfect golden crunch on the edges.
- Storage: These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
- Reheating: To reheat, warm them in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to bring back their crisp texture.
