Instructions
For the biscuits:
Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
Spray a baking sheet with non stick spray.
In a large bowl mix together flour and heavy cream until a dough ball forms.
Dust your counter with self rising flour and add your dough ball.
Fold and pat the dough a couple times in flour until it is no longer sticky and then roll out (using your hands or a rolling pin) to 1/2 inch thick. You should get 3 biscuits the first time then re-roll and get 3 more. Try not to handle the dough very much and don't roll it too thin! These are fluffy, thick biscuits!
Using a large biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place on baking sheet.
If you want the sides soft, place the biscuits side by side so they touch. If you want the edges slightly crispy ( that's how I like 'em!) space them apart.
In a small bowl mix warm melted butter with honey and using a basting brush, brush on the tops of each biscuit.
Bake for 8 minutes.
Remove from oven and brush with the remaining honey butter. It will absorb almost immediately into the hot biscuits. Serve warm with chocolate gravy or jam {or heck how about more honey butter!}.
For the Chocolate Gravy:
Mix dry ingredients together in a large saucepan then whisk in milk.
Heat over medium high until it boils, whisking constantly.
Turn heat to medium and add butter. Stir until it melts and gravy has thickened.
Remove from heat and serve warm on top of fresh from the oven biscuits.
Also delicious on pound cake, fruit, and ice cream!
