Whipping Cream Biscuits
These biscuits are so easy, even my mother could have made them. She was an excellent cook but she swore she was totally unable to make biscuits…hmmm, I wonder… Anyway, these would have been her solution recipe, quick and easy!
Mix together 1 3/4 cups of self-rising flour and 1 cup of whipping cream. That’s it. No rocket scientist degree required. It’s not even necessary that you be as messy as I am, but it helps.
Pat or roll it out. I pat mine when I make a small amount, because I am not at all fond of washing dishes, and a rolling pin is just one more dish, so to speak. So there you go.
Cut them out into biscuit-shaped objects. As you can judge from the background in these pictures and upcoming video, the Camp at Monte Cristo is a lovely place, but tidy and organized, it is not. So when one attempts to find a special, rarely-used item, like a biscuit cutter, it is quite likely somewhere in the black hole that we refer to as a pantry. So one tends to make do with what one has. This one had a canning lid ring…that looks like a biscuit shape, good enough. (Please stay tuned for our pantry organizing video and post; it’ll be a doozy.)
We baked those bad boys on our AWESOME Silpat mat for about 9 minutes. (No greasing of the pan…that’s one less dish to wash, & nothing sticks to it.).

Then I buttered them, and I confess, they were delightful! I put some homemade fig and strawberry jam on them, and it was almost too much to bear! But I managed…
