🛒 Ingredients

• 2 cups self-rising flour

• 1¼ cups heavy whipping cream (cold)

Optional for topping:

• 1–2 tbsp melted butter

🔪 Prep Notes (Chef’s Technique)

• Self-rising flour already contains leavening and salt — do not substitute all-purpose flour unless you add baking powder and salt.

• Cold cream helps create steam for fluffier biscuits.

👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
Line a baking sheet or lightly grease a cast-iron skillet.

2. Mix the Dough

In a bowl, stir flour and cream together just until combined.
The dough should look slightly shaggy but not dry.

3. Shape the Biscuits

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface.
Gently pat to ¾-inch thickness.

Cut biscuits using a round cutter or glass.
Do not twist — press straight down.

4. Bake

Place biscuits close together on the pan.
Bake 12–15 minutes, until tall and golden on top.

5. Finish & Serve

Brush with melted butter if desired.
Serve warm with jam, honey, gravy, or butter.

🔥 Pro-Tip for Next-Level Results

For ultra-soft sides, place biscuits touching each other while baking. Steam gets trapped, creating taller, fluffier biscuits like a Southern bakery.
