Cream Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups self-rising flour, plus more for dusting*
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

*Note: You can substitute 2 cups all-purpose flour plus 1 Tablespoon baking powder for the self-rising flour

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, salt, and cream until the dough forms a ball. 
3. Turn the dough out onto a surface dusted with additional flour. Fold the dough in 1/2 and knead 5 to 7 times, adding just enough flour to keep dough from sticking to your hands. Gently roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter coated with flour, cut dough into biscuits. 
4. Place on baking sheet lined with parchment, leaving at least 1-inch between each biscuit. Brush with melted butter, if desired. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
5. Yields 8-9 biscuits.
