Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier biscuits, consider adding a tablespoon of sugar to the flour mixture, which can enhance the flavor. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. This recipe is quick and versatile, perfect for beginners. If you're feeling adventurous, try adding herbs or cheese for a savory twist.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through. This helps maintain their flaky texture. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use regular all-purpose flour instead. To mimic self-rising flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt per cup of all-purpose flour. This adjustment will help your biscuits rise properly.
How do I know when the biscuits are done baking?
Look for a golden brown color on top and a slightly firm texture when you press them lightly. Baking times may vary based on your oven, so check them a few minutes before the suggested time to avoid overbaking.
Can I add ingredients like cheese or herbs to the biscuits?
Absolutely! Add shredded cheese or fresh herbs into the dough for added flavor. Just fold them in after mixing the cream and flour. This allows for customization and can complement dishes like Millie'S Scrumptious Shrimp Cocktail Dip or serve as a delightful snack.
