Light and fluffy.
Equal parts of self rising flour, and heavy cream. I just smoosh the mix in the bottom of a pre-heated cast iron skillet...These float....

My recipe is a lot more complicated. It even uses a 1/2 teaspoon of Cream of Tartar. I try to make a batch about once a month just to keep my hand in.

Equal parts by weight or volume?
Sift the flour before measuring or pack it in by dragging the cup through the flour?
Should everything be at room temp or is it OK for the flour and cream to come directly out of the fridge?
Is the skillet on high, medium or low?
Do you cook on the stove or in the oven?
What temp is the oven if you use it?
This is SO confusing. . .

With just me cooking for myself, it's great to be flexible with the yield. A cup each makes one huge, or two bigs ones.

BlaineG,

Thanks I was wondering about temp. do you cover your skillet?
Taking them out when golden brown sounds like maybe not.
Thanks.

The best biscuits for me are the ones on the table!
Tonight it was hot biscuits with salad and elk stew + butter and fig jam on the biscuits + some California wine of some kind. Great way to end a day.

A great biscuit idea !! I'm going to give it a try.

Here's some Beer Bread to experiment with:
3 cups Self-Rising Flour
12 ounces Beer
mix well
pour into a greased pan
bake at 375 for about 45 minutes

Cheers,

Saw this last Monday and thought "I don't eat much bread anymore" (funny things going on in my gut) and passed. Well this simple recipe has been on my mind since and my mouth is starting to water. A slice of this "pan biscuit" with some real butter and mebbe some honey... :wink:

mikld, if funny things are going on in your gut after eating bread, then you should talk to a gastroenterologist. That could be a symptom of several possible situations, or something minor that can be fixed easily. Don't ignore the warning signs in your body, just as you would not ignore case bulges in a firearm which had never had them before. Sorry for the thread drift.

Want to get fancy????? same recipe !!!!!
Just mix til combined, wet dough , roll gently to 1/2', be gentle, cut about 1' to 1 1 /2', she had a little tin can, dipped in water for each biscuit, baked at 425 til just light brown.. My first wife passed 18 years ago, but she all but supported us at one time making for high end restaurants and catering halls. Always made fresh, served hot. The greatest and a little known recipe for us trying to survive Chicago. We protected that simple recipe from those folks, my job to do that. Thanks for the reminding. Bad days good memories.

hey i had gut problems. I was put a diet but it had BISCUIT and LOW FAT :D gravy on it!!!???? Boy from the south really eat that up.

Okayyyyy I tried it self rising flour & heavy whipping cream. :D

I mixed one cup of self rising flour & one cup of heavy whipping cream. I got a bunch of dough that looked like biscuit mix. I made 5 biscuits by hand, put the dough in a cast iron frying pan, baked at 350 for 10 minutes then decided I needed a hotter oven so upped the temp. to 450. Let bake 6 more minutes & bingo I got five very nice brown fluffy biscuits. :D
Thanks BalineG, I will use this (your) method again.
