"Cholesterol City" Biscuits
These fluffy, buttery biscuits are quick to prepare and perfect for breakfast or snacks, offering a tender crumb and lightly browned crust that everyone will enjoy.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour ⓘ
- 1/2 pint whipping cream
Instructions
- Mix the self-rising flour and whipping cream together until just combined.
- Pat the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Cut into 12 biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass.
- Bake in a 375°F (190°C) oven for about 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best results, use cold whipping cream straight from the refrigerator, as it helps create a lighter texture in the biscuits. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. For added flavor, consider folding in herbs or cheese into the dough.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are delightful on their own or served with butter and jam. They pair beautifully with a warm bowl of soup or a fresh salad, such as Presidential Salad, for a satisfying meal. For dessert, consider serving them alongside Silk Cocoa Cream Low-Fat Dessert for a sweet ending.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 15 seconds, but they may lose some of their crispness.
