Instructions
-
Mix Dough
Place the self-rising flour in a bowl. Gradually add the heavy whipping cream until a thick dough forms. -
Knead and Shape
Dust a work surface with self-rising flour and place the dough on top. Sprinkle additional flour over the dough and gently fold it 6 to 7 times. Pat the dough out to a thickness of 3/4 to 1 inch and use a cutter to cut out biscuits. -
Bake and Cool
Arrange the cut biscuits on a greased baking pan. Bake at 450°F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Once baked, flip the biscuits upside down to prevent condensation from making the bottoms soggy.
Tips
Flip biscuits upside down after baking to prevent sweating.
