Note

If you do not have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to 2 cups of all-purpose flour.

For a vegan option, substitute the heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream or a plant-based milk alternative like soy or oat milk.

Brush the tops with a little melted butter or oil before baking for a richer color and flavor.

These biscuits are best served fresh out of the oven. To reheat, wrap in foil and warm in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
