Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Plus extra for dusting
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter option
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt Optional, enhances flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt (if using).
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix—the dough should be slightly sticky.
  4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out rounds.
  5. Place the biscuits on the baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  6. Enjoy these easy homemade biscuits straight from the oven with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For extra flakiness, fold the dough over itself once before cutting. These biscuits are best served warm with butter, honey, or jam. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or frozen for future baking.
