These biscuits use equal measures by weight of cream and self-rising flour. We don't tend to stock self-rising, so we make it by adding some baking powder and salt. These are not flakey layered biscuits but have an even tender crumb that's a little pillowy. I rolled then cut rectangles so I didn't have to re-roll scraps with round biscuits and toughen the resulting dough. This is from Serious Eats, with the baking powder amounts from the comments.
