👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, stir together self-rising flour and heavy cream until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Step 3: Shape the Biscuits
Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Gently pat into a ¾-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter (or a floured glass) to cut out rounds. Re-roll scraps to cut more.
Step 4: Bake
Place the biscuits on the baking sheet close together for soft sides or spaced apart for crispier edges.
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Step 5: Serve Warm
Brush with melted butter if desired and serve immediately.

🧈 Why These Biscuits Are So Magical
These biscuits work because heavy cream provides both the fat and moisture typically added via butter and milk. And self-rising flour contains:
-
Flour
-
Leavening (baking powder)
-
Salt
This streamlined combo means perfect rise, texture, and flavor with minimal effort. The result is a biscuit that’s crisp on the outside, pillowy on the inside, and positively melt-in-your-mouth.
