For the biscuits
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter diced
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a small rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix flour and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the diced butter. Using a pastry blender, two knives, or your hands, mix in the butter until it has broken down into smaller pieces and looks grainy
Pour in the cream and gently stir using a spatula. The dough will be slightly sticky but should hold its shape. Place dough on a clean counter or large cutting board. Knead a few times with your hands until it smooths out.
Turn the dough out onto the counter and roll it out with a rolling pin until it’s ¾ inch thick. Cut out rounds using a 2¼ round biscuit cutter. Place the rounds on the baking sheet so that they are touching.
Melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave. Brush generously on top of the dough, using all the butter. Bake the biscuits for 16 minutes. Serve hot.
