Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

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

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.
