Prep Time

• 10 minutes

Cook Time

• 10–12 minutes

Total Time

• 20–22 minutes

Servings

• 8–10 biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups White Lily self-rising flour (or any high-quality self-rising flour)
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Optional:

• Melted butter (for brushing)
• Honey, jam, or gravy (for serving)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) . This high temperature ensures the biscuits bake quickly and develop a golden, crispy exterior while staying soft and fluffy inside.

Step 2: Mix the Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and heavy whipping cream. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix—the dough should be shaggy and slightly sticky.

Step 3: Shape the Biscuits

1. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it down into a rectangle or circle about ¾-inch thick. Avoid overworking the dough to keep the biscuits tender.
2. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out rounds. Press straight down without twisting to ensure the biscuits rise evenly. Gather the scraps, pat them down again, and cut more biscuits until all the dough is used.

Step 4: Prep the Pan

1. Butter a flat iron skillet, cast-iron pan, or baking sheet generously. Place the biscuit rounds close together in the pan for soft-sided biscuits or space them apart for crispier edges.

Step 5: Bake the Biscuits

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes , or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits have risen beautifully. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to avoid overbaking.

Step 6: Finish with Butter

1. As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush the tops generously with melted butter for that extra buttery goodness.

Step 7: Serve & Enjoy

1. Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings—honey, jam, butter, or even sausage gravy. These biscuits are perfect for breakfast sandwiches, sopping up soup, or simply enjoying on their own.

Pro Tips

• Flour Matters: White Lily flour is ideal because it’s made from soft wheat, which has less protein and makes the biscuits lighter. If you can’t find it, use another high-quality self-rising flour.
• Don’t Overwork the Dough: Handle the dough as little as possible to prevent gluten development, which can make the biscuits tough.
• Storage: Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days . Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for best results.
