Recipe Two-Ingredient Biscuits

[Morning Glory]

Thanks for that...as you indicate, half-and-half is literally what the name describes. So, in your case, it's at least a 3-ingredient biscuit (or more if you don't have self-rising flour).

Self raising flour is very much available everywhere in the UK.

Ah-ha...I'd guess that the American version is generally triangular to avoid mixing them up with what we call biscuits. I can't imagine what the reaction would be if someone tried to eat a UK scone with sausage gravy on it (though I would love to have my camera recording the reaction).

Here's what my Light Chocolate Chip Scones looked like:

A plain scone would be OK for gravy. (See the gravy thread) However an English biscuit would not be good with gravy.

Scones are often used in cobblers (see my recipe https://www.cookingbites.com/threads/mushroom-and-spinach-cobbler.9618/) and are equally at home with creamy sauces or lovely thick gravy. I usually make just plain scones and use them in sweet or savoury dishes.

We usually use pie crust for cobblers here.

Someone posted a recipe similar to this on a creative cooking forum I manage at work, and I was blown away....
Ingredients

2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup half-and-half

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
2. ...

I've made something similar to this a couple of times. There are a couple differences, though. The recipe I use calls for 1 and 1/2 cup half-and-half, shaped into squares and baked in an 8x8 inch pan at 425 degrees F for about 12 minutes.
