Cream Biscuits

This biscuits recipe is so simple and pretty fool proof. With only 3 ingredients they come together quickly and how satisfying to bake your own biscuits. Serve them up hot with plenty of butter.

2 cups self-rising flour

1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream

¼ teaspoon salt

• Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees

• Line a cookie sheet with parchment or Silpat (silicone baking sheet)

• In a large bowl combine all of the above ingredients and stir until all the flour is absorbed

• Gather up the dough and turn out onto a lightly floured counter and kneed the dough seven times

• Pat into a circle about ½ “ thick

• Using a 2 ½” biscuit cutter make 12 biscuits, you will have to gather the scraps and kneed them a couple of time and pat out for the last 1 or 2.

• Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.

• Serve warm with butter.

  
  

Use a 1 1/2" biscuit cutter for the perfect ham biscuit. I purchase Edward's Virginia country ham sliced by the pound - locally in Northern Virginia I can find it at Wegmans
