How to make these Quick Homemade Flaky Biscuits
Step 1: Mix the dry ingredients
Combine a dash of salt and the self rising flour in a mixing bowl. Give it a gentle stir.
Step 2: Stir in the cream
Slowly pour in the heavy cream and continue mixing until the dough is formed. The dough should still be slightly sticky to the touch.
Step 3: Roll out the dough
Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough on a floured surface until about 1/2 inch thick.
Use a glass, a cookie cutter, or mason jar lid to cut the dough into rounds. Place on baking sheet.
Then bake at 425 degrees for about 12 minutes. If you want to brush them with some melted butter before baking, go for it! Enjoy warm with more butter, jelly, or just as they are.
