Heavy cream is rich and makes everything soft and tender, I love the way it feels when I knead the dough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honey butter is my favorite part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I mix softened butter with honey until it is smooth and glossy, and honestly, it smells so good I could just eat it by the spoonful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The butter gives it creaminess and the honey adds this warm, golden sweetness that makes these biscuits feel extra special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-making-the-biscuits-\"><strong>Making the Biscuits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I start by preheating my oven to 425\u00b0F so it is nice and hot. I line a baking sheet with parchment paper but honestly, a light spray of cooking oil works if I don\u2019t have parchment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then I make the honey butter. I grab 4 tablespoons of softened butter and 2 tablespoons of honey and mix them with a fork until creamy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/h-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1409\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/h-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/h-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/h-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/h.jpg 832w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I set it aside because this is going on the biscuits later and I want it to melt perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a big bowl, I measure out the 2 cups of self-rising flour and pour in the heavy cream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I stir gently with a fork or wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ok-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1406\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ok-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ok-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ok-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ok.jpg 832w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is okay if it looks a little shaggy, overmixing makes biscuits tough and nobody wants that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once it\u2019s together, I turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it just a few times to form a soft ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I pat the dough down to about half an inch thick.
