I love biscuits and these are the best I have ever eaten. A huge throw down to all you Southern cooks, I know, and no disrespect, but these are SO good! From The Best American Recipes '03-'04 and Sara Perry

Ingredients
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) COLD unsalted butter cut into small dime size pieces
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour for dredging
  • Optional 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted to brush on top

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
  2. Spray an 8 or 9 inch round cake pan with "Pam for Baking" spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  4. Add the cold butter.
  5. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, work the mixture into small peas size pieces.
  6. Stir in buttermilk and cream and let the dough stand for 2 minutes. It will be sticky and wet. Do not add more flour!
  7. In a small bowl add about half of the all purpose flour, flour your hands as well.
  8. Using a larger spoon, so you'll have biscuits about the size of a good sized lemon, scoop a lemon sized lump of the dough into the flour.
  9. Gently coat it with flour, shake off the excess and again, gently shape into a soft round.
  10. Place in the prepared pan, making an outer circle of biscuits and one or two in the middle.
  11. Bake at 500 degrees for 5 minutes.
  12. LOWER the oven temperature to 475 degrees and bake the biscuits for about 17 more minutes until very brown. I start checking on them after about 15 minutes.
  13. Remove from oven, brush with melted butter if desired while still in the pan.
  14. Let rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out and enjoy!
  15. Fight off other family members so you get your fair share, you did bake them after all!
