These simple and fluffy biscuits are perfect for a quick breakfast or snack. Made with self-rising flour and heavy cream, they have a tender crumb and buttery flavor. Ideal for breakfast lovers, they come together in minutes and are great served with jam, butter, or gravy.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the self-rising flour and heavy cream in a bowl.
- Drop teaspoonfuls of the dough onto a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 450°F (232°C) for about 12 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use very cold heavy cream to create extra fluffy biscuits. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour and add 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt per cup of flour. Consider adding herbs or cheese for flavor. These biscuits are a perfect complement to the No Fat Lo-Cal Pumpkin Muffins.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are delightful on their own or served warm with butter and jam. They pair beautifully with breakfast dishes like scrambled eggs or can be served alongside soups and stews for dinner. For a sweet treat, enjoy them with a slice of the Favorite Chocolate Pie for dessert.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer bag for up to a month. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through, ensuring they regain their crispness.
