Tips:

  • Use a good quality heavy cream. This will make your biscuits extra rich and flavorful.
  • Make sure your butter is very cold before you start. This will help to create flaky layers in your biscuits.
  • Work quickly when you're making the dough. The more you handle it, the tougher your biscuits will be.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Just mix it until the ingredients are combined.
  • Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. If you roll it out too thin, your biscuits will be dry.
  • Cut the biscuits out with a sharp knife or biscuit cutter. Don't twist the cutter, as this will seal the edges of the biscuits and prevent them from rising properly.
  • Place the biscuits on a greased baking sheet. Make sure they're not touching each other, or they'll bake together.
  • Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they're golden brown.
  • Let the biscuits cool for a few minutes before serving. They're best when they're warm and fresh out of the oven.
