Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup shortening
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour (for shaping)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, for brushing)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan or cast-iron skillet.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift the self-rising flour and sugar together to combine.
Step 3
Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut the shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk and heavy cream. Gently fold the mixture together with a rubber spatula until just combined. The dough will be very wet and sticky—this is perfectly normal!
Step 5
Generously dust a clean work surface with all-purpose flour. Scoop out large spoonfuls of the dough onto the floured surface. Sprinkle a bit of flour on top of the dough to make it easier to handle.
Step 6
Carefully shape the dough into 8 golf-ball-sized biscuits with floured hands, transferring them to the prepared pan as you go. The biscuits should touch slightly in the pan to help them rise evenly.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the melted butter for an extra layer of flavor and richness.
Step 9
Serve warm with your favorite toppings like butter, jelly, or honey, and enjoy!
