Whipping Cream Biscuits
These super quick and tasty biscuits only use 2 ingredients. The easiest you'll ever make!
Ingredients
- 2 cups self rising flour
- 1¼-½ cups whipping cream plus a little more for brushing tops
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉/204℃. Lightly grease a baking sheet or like it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl combine the self rising flour and most of the whipping cream. (Set aside a little whipping cream for brushing the tops.) Mix together until you can form a soft dough. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky to handle. Add more cream if it's too dry. It should be very soft and a little bit sticky.
- Once the dough comes together, knead about 5-6 times. folding the dough in half then patting it out. This creates layers in the biscuits so they will have a flaky texture. Pat or roll out the dough to about ½ inch thickness. Cut out biscuits using a sharp cutter and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Re roll any scraps. The close together the biscuits are, the softer they will turn out. For crispier biscuits, place farther apart.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the biscuits are well risen and the tops are golden brown. Cool for a few minutes before serving warm with butter and jam.
Notes
If you don't have self rising flour, mix together 2 cups all purpose flour with 3 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Proceed with the recipe as normal.
