Last week, I made Paula Deen's cream biscuits for breakfast. Because the recipe has only THREE ingredients (self rising flour, sugar and whipping cream), I didn't have very high expectations, but they turned out GREAT!! The biscuits were light, moist, tasty and oh so quick. I used them to make some ham & egg sandwiches and Hubby actually liked them!!
2 cups self rising flour (see note)1 tablespoon sugar
1½ cups heavy whipping cream
Mix all 3 ingredients together until dough forms a ball. Turn out onto lightly floured counter and knead 5 to 7 times. Pat dough out to ½ inch thickness and cut biscuits with a 3 inch cutter. Place on greased baking sheet (with 1" between biscuits) and bake at 500F for 10 minutes
NOTE: I never have self rising flour, so for EACH CUP of self rising flour, I substitute 1 cup of all purpose flour + 1¼ teaspoon baking powder + 1/8 teaspoon salt.
NOTE: I brushed my biscuits with butter when them came out of the oven.

they look yummy. nice and puffy!!
They look yummy Coleen! I'm not great at biscuits either. My mom always made the yummiest tallest biscuits and I have never been able to make them like her. So, like you, I have resorted to whomp biscuits many times because of it!
Very nice and puffy!
It doesn't get better than 3 ingredients, may have to make a batch for Xmas morning...
Awesome only 3 ingredients, and they look like they are light, fluffy, and rose beautifully.
If I ever get to Alaska, I want a tutorial in bread /yeast making. And kneading.
ooo- these look good~ I too was biscuit challenged! It took me YEARS to get my grandmothers right. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
I'll have to try these!
BTW, we call the ones in the tube "whack" biscuits...because you whack them on the counter to open them. :)
LOL! There's been many a "whomping" biscuit (& rolls) that have come out of my oven. It's bascically the only kind my kiddos know! :)
I find it hard to believe that you hadn't any success with biscuit making. Is it just that you hadn't liked the taste compared to the "whomp" ones? These look great!

I love these tall, flaky looking biscuits! Only 3 ingredients sounds great!
We've had the "whomp" biscuits many times; my hubby also likes the Grands, but I finally tried using real buttermilk in my biscuits and that made the difference for me.
Have a happy Thanksgiving, Coleen.
I LOVE BISCUITS ooooh maaaaan I need to pull myself away from this...because I will seriously make these and eat every single one.
Look puffy and yummy, I really love this.
They look like they turned out great!! It also sounds like one quick and easy recipe.
Oh Coleen, I can't believe you would be unsuccessful at baking anything...you have the magic touch...! But i guess I'll just have to take your word for it...: ) but thank you so much for this recipe...baking biscuits always sounds tricky and I am a pillsbury customer...well that is...until now... thank you for sharing...the brief ingredients list is very appealing as well..!
we're big biscuit people here, so these would go over very well in my family!
These biscuits are a 'must try'!
These are just beautiful. A perfect "go with" for a feast.
Coleen, I'm biscuit making challenged as well, grins.
These biscuits sound good. Love the idea of using them for a breakfast sandwich. Now I am absolutely, positively starving for this!
I am going to make buiscuits for my sons bday party and have tried 3 recipes now and failed at them all. One had good flavor but didnt rise the others rose but had no flavor. I am going to try these next and cross my fingers that I have a winner LOL.
Thanks for sharing
