Cream Biscuits
1 3/4 cups White Lily Self-Rising Flour
1 cup heavy cream.. (small container, I think it's a 1/2 pint)
1/4 cup melted butter
Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
Measure flour into large bowl. Gradually stir in cream, adding only enough to moisten flour to a sticky dough. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface & fold two times to form a ball. Using a light touch, pat or roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Place biscuits on baking sheet with sides touching for soft biscuits or not touching for more crisp biscuits. Brush tops with melted butter.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until tops are golden brown. Serve hot out of the oven.
Cooking Tips:
I don't roll mine.
I either pat the dough into a rectangle and cut squares or
pat it into a pan and lightly score it before baking, then break apart
after they've cooled a minute or two.
Biscuit dough does not need to be kneaded except just to form a ball.
A few gentle folds is enough.
It is a common mistake in biscuit making to overhandle the dough
