Directions:

• Step 1: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure a perfect bake.
• Step 2: In a mixing bowl, add the self-rising flour. Give it a quick whisk to break up any lumps.
• Step 3: Pour in the heavy cream and gently mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
• Step 4: If you’re using melted salted butter, fold it into the dough until just combined.
• Step 5: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. You can roll it out with a rolling pin or just use your hands for a more rustic look.
• Step 6: Using a cookie cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into rounds or squares. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are close but not touching.
• Step 7: Using a pastry brush, gently apply melted butter on top of each biscuit for an extra layer of flavor and a golden-brown finish.
• Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and have risen beautifully.
• Step 9: Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm, slathered with butter or your favorite jam.
