Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the self-rising flour and heavy whipping cream with a spoon until just combined.
- Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
- Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass.
- Bake at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, be gentle when mixing the ingredients to avoid overworking the dough, which can lead to tough 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 1/2 teaspoon of salt. For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of sugar or using buttermilk instead of heavy cream.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these biscuits warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam for a delightful breakfast or snack. They pair beautifully with dishes like fried chicken or can be enjoyed alongside soups and stews. For a sweet twist, try them with a drizzle of maple syrup, or serve them as a side with Mary Ball'S Egg Nog during the holidays.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F and warm the biscuits for about 5-8 minutes until they are heated through. This will help maintain their flaky texture rather than using a microwave, which can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to bake, simply roll out and cut the biscuits, then bake as instructed. This is a great option for busy mornings.
What can I add to the biscuit dough for flavor?
You can enhance the flavor of your biscuits by adding herbs like rosemary or thyme, or even cheese for a savory twist. For a sweeter version, consider incorporating chocolate chips or dried fruit, which would complement a breakfast spread.
How do I know when the biscuits are done?
The biscuits are ready when they have risen and turned a golden brown color on the top. You can also gently tap the top; if it sounds hollow, they are likely done. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of baking to avoid overcooking.
