Method
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and sugar. Mix them together until evenly combined.
- 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.
- Flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently pat it into a rectangle or circle, about 1 inch thick.
- Shape the biscuits using a biscuit cutter, a drinking glass, or a knife. If using a knife, cut the dough into squares or rectangles.
- Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
- 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.
