- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). This high temperature is essential for making the biscuits rise quickly and giving them that flaky, golden texture.
- Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and heavy whipping cream. Use a fork or a spatula to mix gently until the flour is just incorporated. Avoid overworking the dough, as this will make the biscuits tough. The mixture should remain a bit lumpy.
- Shape the biscuits: On a lightly floured surface, transfer the dough. Gently pat it with your hands to form a square about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Do not use a rolling pin; the pressure from your hands is sufficient and creates a more tender biscuit.
- Cut the shapes: Use a round or square cookie cutter, or simply a knife to cut out the biscuits. For an optimal result, do not twist the cutter; simply press down and lift it up. This helps create clean edges that promote a good rise.
- Bake: Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and serve them immediately while they are still warm. They are delicious on their own or served with butter, jam, or honey.
- These biscuits are perfect for rushed mornings or when you need a quick treat. It’s a simple recipe that proves baking doesn’t always have to be complicated to be delicious
