Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Pastry brush
- Mixing bowl
- Pastry blender
- Biscuit cutter (2¼ inch round)
- Rolling Pin
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Microwave safe bowl
Ingredients
For the biscuits
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (diced)
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
For brushing on top
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Then, line a small, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Then, add the diced cold butter. Next, cut the butter into the flour using a pastry blender, two knives, or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the cream. Pour in the heavy cream and gently stir with a spatula until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but hold its shape.
- Knead the dough. Turn the dough out onto a clean counter or large cutting board. Knead the dough a few times by hand until it becomes smooth.
- Roll out the dough. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to about ¾ inch thick. Then, cut out rounds using a 2¼ inch biscuit cutter. Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the biscuits are touching.
- Brush with butter and bake. Melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave. Generously brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted butter. Bake the biscuits for 16 minutes or until golden brown and risen.
- Serve. Serve the biscuits warm and fresh from the oven.
