Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups self-rising flour or 2 cups all-purpose flour with 3 teaspoons baking powder and a pinch of salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream for a dairy-free option
  • 2 tablespoons sugar optional, for a slightly sweet flavor

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper (optional for easy cleanup)
  • Biscuit cutter, drinking glass, or knife (for shaping)
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and sugar. Mix them together until evenly combined.
  3. Gradually add the heavy cream into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but not too wet.
  4. Flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently pat it into a rectangle or circle, about 1 inch thick.
  5. Shape the biscuits using a biscuit cutter, a drinking glass, or a knife. If using a knife, cut the dough into squares or rectangles.
  6. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  7. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
  8. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Dough consistency: If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour to make it easier to handle. But be careful not to add too much — it should still be soft.
  • Cold ingredients: For fluffier biscuits, use cold cream. Cold ingredients help the biscuits rise higher.
  • Freezing option: You can freeze unbaked biscuits on a tray, and then store them in a freezer bag. When ready to bake, add an extra 5 minutes to the baking time.
  • Customizations: Add shredded cheese, herbs, or cinnamon to the dough for different flavors. You can also make mini biscuits by reducing the size of the dough portions.
