Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Self-raising flour
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Butter (cold, cubed)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and cold, cubed butter.
Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually pour in the heavy cream while stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula. Mix until the dough just comes together—do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 2-3 times to bring it into a cohesive ball.
Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather and re-roll any scraps to make additional biscuits.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Let the biscuits cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. They are best enjoyed warm with butter, jam, or your favorite spread.
