Very soft biscuits
1. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Adjust an oven rack to just above the middle position. Spray an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. (Cast iron skillet can be used.)
2. In a medium mixing bowl, wisk together the self-rising flour, baking soda, salt and sugar. With your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the shortening into the flour mixture until there are no shortening lumps larger than a big pea.
3. Stir in the buttermilk and cream, and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes. (Note: This dough is so wet that you can't shape it in the usual manner.)
4. Pour the cup of all-purpose flour onto a plate or pie tin; flour you hands well. Spray a 2-inch ice cream scoop with cooking spray. Scoop a biscuit-size lump of wet dough into the flour, and sprinkle some flour over the wet dough to coat the outside. Pick up the biscuit and shape it roughtly into a round; at the same time, shake off the excess flour. The dough is so soft that it will not hold its shape. As you shape each biscuit, place it in the pan. Push teh buscuits tightly against each other so that they will rise up and not spread out; continue shaping biscuits in the manner until all of the dough is used.
5. Brush the biscuits with the melted butter (Optional: spray with butter flavored spray), and bake until lightly browned, about 15-20 minutes. Cool for 1 or 2 minutes in the pan, then dump out and cut the biscuits apart. Butter while hot, and eat immediately.
