Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep

    Preheat the oven to 450°F. Generously grease a baking pan with shortening.
  2. Mix Dough

    Sift the self-rising flour into a mixing bowl without packing it. Add the heavy whipping cream and mix until the flour is moistened. The dough will be sticky, which is normal.
  3. Knead and Roll

    Lightly flour a work surface or wax paper. Gently knead the dough, then roll or pat it to the desired thickness.
  4. Cut and Bake

    Cut out biscuits with a cutter or cup. Place the biscuits close together in the prepared pan to encourage a taller rise. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Serve

    Serve the biscuits immediately or while still warm.

Tips

Do not overwork the dough; a sticky consistency leads to fluffier biscuits.
