15 min12 servings

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces self-rising flour (170g or 1 1/2 cups) (if using all purpose flour, add 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. )
  • 6 ounces by weight, heavy cream (170g or 3/4 cup)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • optional: any mix-ins (as desired (see notes))

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.

  2. 2

    When measuring ingredients on a scale, you are measuring by weight, not volume. Place all ingredients in a bowl and gently mix with a fork until combined. If dough doesn't combine, very slowly drizzle in just a bit of extra cream until it comes together.

  3. 3

    Spoon or use a cookie scoop to drop rounds onto baking sheet, 2-3 inches apart, or alternately you can pat/roll the dough out and then use a biscuit cutter.

  4. 4

    Brush the tops of biscuits lightly with cream, milk, or water.

  5. 5

    Bake for about 10 minutes or until puffed and golden.

  6. 6

    Yields 8-12 biscuits depending on size.
