Ingredients
2CupsSelf-Rising Flour
2CupsHeavy Whipping CreamGreek Yogurt, optional
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. You can also use a large cast iron skillet for baking these simple biscuits.
In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups of self-rising flour and 2 cups of heavy cream until a soft dough forms. Pro Tip. If you add any of the optional ingredients such as granulated sugar or shredded cheddar cheese, add it to the dough mixture right away.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times just until the dough comes together. Pro Tip. Don’t overmix so the dough stays soft and flaky.
Use a rolling pin and roll or pat the dough out to a ½-inch thickness. Cut the dough into biscuits. A biscuit cutter works nicely for this. However, if you do not have one, a drinking glass or coffee cup will work to cut out the biscuit dough. Pro Tips. You can also cut into 2-inch squares if desired. Make drop biscuits. Rather than rolling out the dough, just use a large cookie scoop to scoop out the dough.
Place biscuits on a prepared cookie sheet with parchment paper or an ungreased cast iron skillet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the biscuits are fluffy and golden brown.
For extra flavor, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
Notes
Make your own self-rising flour using all-purpose flour.
Self-rising Flour is a very easy recipe to make at home.• 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour • 1 ½ Teaspoon Baking Powder • ¼ Teaspoon SaltMake sure to measure your flour carefully. For this recipe it is important to get the correct baking powder to flour ratio. So use something flat like a butter knife to run across the top of your measuring cup so you don’t end up with too much flour.
