Ingredients you will need

Cream

All Purpose Flour

Pour the cream into the center of the well and your (clean) hands to gently bring together the ingredients.

Ingredients you will need

Cream

If you need to add a bit more cream then do so a tiny trickle at a time. You just want everything to get wet enough so that the dough will be sticky and clumpy.

Ingredients you will need

Cream

Dough

Knead the dough, just enough: Turn the dough out onto a surface lightly dusted with flour. Knead the dough just a few times - maybe only three or four pushes. You just want it to just come together. (Over-kneading will result in firmer, denser biscuits.)
