Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut butter into flour with a pastry blender or fork until crumbly.
- Add whipping cream, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly 3 or 4 times.
- Roll or pat dough to 3/4-inch thickness.
- Cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter.
- Place biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake at 400°F for 13 to 15 minutes.
- Brush biscuits with 1/4 cup melted butter.
Tips & Substitutions
For even fluffier biscuits, make sure your butter is cold when cutting it into the flour. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute all-purpose flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. For a twist, try adding herbs or cheese to the dough for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits can be served warm with a pat of butter or alongside jam for breakfast. They also pair beautifully with dishes like fried chicken or can be enjoyed with a refreshing Strawberry Colada for dessert. Consider serving them with a light salad for a complete meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store 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 for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. This will help restore their flaky texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use heavy cream instead of whipping cream?
Yes, heavy cream can be used as a substitute for whipping cream in this recipe. It will give the biscuits a richer flavor and a slightly denser texture, which can be delightful.
What can I add to the biscuits for flavor?
You can mix in grated cheese, fresh herbs, or even a touch of garlic powder to the dry ingredients before adding the cream. These additions will elevate the flavor profile and make the biscuits more savory.
Can I freeze the biscuits after baking?
Yes, you can freeze baked biscuits. Allow them to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag. They can be reheated from frozen in a warm oven for about 10-15 minutes.
