Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 cup whipped cream
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 400&# 194;°F (200°C).
  2. 2
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and whipped cream.
  3. 3
    Mix with a fork or your hands until the dough comes together and leaves the sides of the bowl clean. If the dough feels too dry, add 1 or 2 additional teaspoons of whipped cream.
  4. 4
    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  5. 5
    Gently knead the dough 10 to 12 times. Add a little extra flour if the dough becomes too sticky to handle.
  6. 6
    Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
  7. 7
    Cut the dough into rounds using a biscuit cutter or a glass.
  8. 8
    Place the biscuit rounds on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  9. 9
    Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
  10. 10
    Remove from the baking sheet immediately and serve piping hot.

Note

Variation: Instead of cutting rounds, you can pat the dough into an 8-inch square baking pan. Bake at 400°F for 12 to 15 minutes, then cut into squares before serving.

Storage: These biscuits are best eaten fresh. If you need to store them, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or microwave to restore softness.

Tip: Do not over-knead the dough, as this can make the biscuits tough. Gentle handling ensures a tender texture.
