Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1½ cups heavy cream (whipping cream)

Method
 

  1. Preheat and Prep Your Pan

    Preheat your oven to 400°F. Grease a cast iron skillet or baking dish with butter — or better yet, bacon grease for a richer crust and deeper flavor, just like the cowboys do it.

  2. Sift and Mix

    Sift 2 cups of self-rising flour into a medium bowl. Sifting is key — it aerates the flour and gives your biscuits a softer, smoother texture. Stir in 1½ cups of heavy cream until just combined. Don't overmix.

  3. Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Flour your hands and knead the dough just a few times. The outside of the dough should not feel sticky, but the inside should still have some moisture. That inside moisture is what creates those fluffy layers.

  4. Roll and Cut

    Roll the dough out to about ½ inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out your biscuits and place them into your prepared skillet or dish. Brush the tops with a little extra whipping cream for a beautiful golden finish.

  5. Bake to Golden Perfection

    Bake at 400°F for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are light golden brown. Fresh from the oven, brush the tops with a little melted butter (optional but highly recommended). Serve immediately.
