Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-rising flour (already contains baking powder and salt)
  • 1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • Optional: Melted butter for brushing on top after baking.

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 450°F. For faster cooking, you can use the convection setting. Grease a 7x11 or 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Mix Dough: Place the self-rising flour in a bowl. Gradually add the heavy whipping cream, stirring with a blending fork or spoon until a thick, heavy dough forms and all the dry flour is incorporated.
  3. Knead & Fold: Dust your countertop with a generous amount of self-rising flour. Place the dough on the surface and sprinkle more flour on top. Gently fold the dough 6 to 7 times. This creates those beautiful layers.
  4. Cut Biscuits: Pat the dough out to about 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Cut out your biscuits using a cutter. For a smoother look, you can lightly roll each piece in the palm of your hand with a tiny bit of flour.
  5. Bake: Arrange the biscuits in the greased pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the tops and bottoms are golden brown.
  6. Finishing Touch: Brush the tops with melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven for a beautiful finish.
  7. Pro Tip: To prevent the bottoms from "sweating" and getting soft, you can flip them upside down briefly after baking.
