Q&A

Can I use regular whipping cream instead of heavy whipping cream?

While regular whipping cream can be used as a substitute, heavy whipping cream is recommended for its higher fat content, which contributes to a better texture and flavor.

Is it necessary to roll the dough by hand, or can I use a biscuit cutter?

Both methods work well. You can either roll the dough into balls with your hands or use a biscuit cutter to create uniform shapes.

Can I freeze the baked biscuits for later use?

Yes, you can freeze the baked biscuits in an airtight container or freezer bag. When ready to serve, thaw them at room temperature and reheat in the oven or microwave.

Can I add additional ingredients, such as cheese or herbs, to the dough?

Absolutely! Feel free to customize the basic dough by adding grated cheese, herbs, or spices to enhance the flavor of your biscuits.

Can I use a different type of flour instead of self-rising flour?

Self-rising flour is ideal for this recipe because it already contains leavening agents (baking powder and salt). If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt.
