Preheat oven to 500ºF degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Place flour in a large bowl. Gradually stir in cream, adding just enough to moisten flour to a sticky dough. (You may have a little leftover).
Pour biscuit dough onto a lightly floured surface (use the self-rising flour).
Gently pat, knead, and roll the dough to about a ½-inch thickness. Dust with flour on top of biscuit dough and fold over.
Pat or roll dough gently to a ½-inch thickness - approximately a 7-inch square.
Cut dough with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Rerolling dough as needed.
Place biscuits on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
Notes:
To make self-rising flour, combine:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
If making your own self-rising flour, check the date on your baking powder. Expired baking powder will cause your biscuits not to rise.
One cup of flour weighs 4-ounces. To properly measure flour, give the flour a stir to loosen it up in the container. Use a spoon and lightly spoon the flour into your measuring cup. Use a flat straight edge (like the straight back of a knife) to level off the top of the flour in the measuring cup. Do NOT compact the flourin the measuring cup.
Be careful not to over-mix/knead the dough. You want to mix the dough just until it comes together and knead it two or three times max.
The biscuits bake at 500ºF. YES, that is the correct temperature.
You can cut the biscuits with any size biscuit cutter or even cut the dough into squares if you don't have a biscuit cutter. You may need to adjust the cooking time if making smaller or larger biscuits.
These biscuits are best warm from the oven. You can refrigerate or freeze leftovers. Warm them up in the microwave or covered in foil in the oven.
