Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • cups heavy whipping cream
  • Extra flour for dusting
  • Oil or Crisco for greasing pan
  • Melted butter for brushing tops, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 475°F. Grease a round cake pan or iron skillet with oil or solid shortening—not butter.
  • In a large bowl, mix the self-rising flour and heavy cream until just combined.
  • Transfer dough to a floured surface. Fold it over like a calzone and repeat 3 more times to build layers.
  • Pat dough to ¾ to 1-inch thickness. Cut biscuits using a 2½-inch cutter—do not twist.
  • Arrange biscuits close together in the greased pan.
  • Bake for 12 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.
  • Optional: Brush tops with melted butter right after baking.
  • Let cool for a few minutes and serve warm.

Notes

Use cold cream for best texture. For a twist on 2-Ingredient Biscuits, add shredded cheddar or herbs to the dough before cutting.
