Cream Biscuits

This old, old recipe made the rounds as a two-ingredient miracle because it can transform anyone into a confident biscuit baker. The self-rising flour supplies the leavening and salt. The cream supplies the fat and liquid. It's a win-win. No cutting in the fat means no flaky layers, but lots of pillowy tenderness. You can also use sour cream or full-fat buttermilk instead of the cream with good results. Add a tablespoon or two of sugar, and you'll have a very serviceable shortcake to pair with sweetened berries. Since biscuits can be made with varying levels of fat, all three of the liquids work a little differently. Here are the numbers per cup: Heavy cream has about 88 grams of fat, sour cream has 45, and full-fat buttermilk has about 8. Compare this to a biscuit recipe containing whole milk or buttermilk and cups of shortening, which is about 57 grams of fat. So, in the end, a heavy cream biscuit is even richer than the standard.
