BISCUIT Recipes.......Please "BASIC" (Least Needed)

[Sourdough]

So, requesting the very-very basic needs for biscuits.
After the minimal for basic biscuits......what are some add on for enhanced "Wow". (Like grated cheddar cheese.

2 cups self rising flour
1 tblsp sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Mix flour and sugar. Pour in cream and fold together until soft dough forms. Knead gently 6 or 7 times with just enough flour to keep your hands from sticking. Form your biscuits and bake at 500 for 10-12 minutes. makes nice soft biscuits.

That is the easiest recipe I have, I have another that uses lard.

A much sweeter version:

Simple butter biscuits (you might call them cookies here..no idea I call them biscuits)

1 1/2 cups flour..all purpose or self raising I've used both
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter

Cream the butter and sugar (basically mix it until it looks creamy maybe 5 or 10 mins)
Add the flour and knead into a soft dough.
Form into biscuit shapes and bake at 150 for 10 minutes or until the edges start to brown.

Serve straight or with grated cheese or a drop of strawberry jam.

Edit to add that I have added grated cheese and paprika to the dough and baked like that. Don't ask me the amounts..I 'eyeballed it' lol

I don't have an oven, so I just slow bake on stovetop in frying pan.

Works almost as well as an oven.
I often just use a cast iron pot or pan with a lid on top of the wood stove. Even bake bread and muffins like that.
It is much slower though for bigger things like bread

I've done that many times.
