Ingredients You’ll Need
The secret to these heavenly biscuits lies in their simplicity. Here’s what you’ll need:
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups self-rising flour (or make your own by adding 1 tablespoon baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt to all-purpose flour)
- 1 cup cold heavy cream (or buttermilk for extra tanginess)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, plus extra for brushing)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Ready to whip up these buttery, flaky biscuits? Follow these easy steps:
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, add the self-rising flour.
- Pour the cold heavy cream over the flour and stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough comes together. Do not overmix—the dough should be slightly shaggy.
Step 3: Shape the Biscuits
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
- Use a round biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass) to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure they rise evenly.
- Gather the scraps, pat them back together, and cut additional biscuits until all the dough is used.
Step 4: Bake the Biscuits
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each one.
- Brush the tops generously with melted butter for a golden, buttery finish.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes , or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown on top.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the biscuits warm with additional butter, honey, jam, or gravy.
- Enjoy the soft, flaky goodness in every bite!
