OK, here is my super easy, super good recipe.
2 cups self-rising flour
1 to 1 1/2 cups whipping cream (NO SUBSTITUTE)
*Combine ingredients, stirring with a fork until blended. [If dough is too stiff, add more whipping cream. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour. It should be kind of springy - not stiff.]
*Turn dough out onto a lighly floured surface, and knead 10 to 12 times only.
*Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness, cut with a 2" biscuit cutter (or a 2" glass) diped in flour to keep from sticking to dough. Place on a lighly oiled baking sheet.
*Bake at 450 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Makes about a dozen biscuits.
The trick is not to handle the dough too much. That's what makes them heavy or hard.
Good luck.
