- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold, for best texture)
⭐️ That’s it! Just two ingredients.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 450°F (230°C). A hot oven ensures the biscuits rise tall and bake golden on the outside while staying tender on the inside.
2. Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and heavy cream. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Don’t overmix, or the biscuits may turn tough.
3. Shape the Biscuits
Lightly flour your countertop and turn the dough out. Pat it down to about ½-inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out rounds. Gently press together scraps and cut more biscuits until all dough is used.
4. Bake
Place the biscuits onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, close together if you like soft sides or spaced apart for crispier edges. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
5. Serve
Enjoy warm, straight out of the oven! These biscuits pair beautifully with butter, honey, jam, sausage gravy, or even alongside soups and stews.
Pro Tips for the Best 2-Ingredient Biscuits
- Use White Lily flour if possible. It’s made with soft winter wheat, which makes biscuits extra tender. If you can’t find it, substitute another self-rising flour, but the results may be slightly denser.
- Cold cream is key. It helps the biscuits puff up instead of spreading.
- Don’t twist your cutter. Press straight down for tall, even biscuits.
- Double the batch! These disappear fast and can be frozen for later.
Variations to Try
- 🧄 Garlic Herb Biscuits: Mix in a teaspoon of garlic powder and some fresh herbs before baking.
- 🧀 Cheddar Biscuits: Stir in ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese for a cheesy twist.
- 🍓 Sweet Biscuits: Sprinkle sugar on top before baking and serve with berries and whipped cream.
Storing & Reheating
- Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container up to 2 days.
- Freezer: Freeze baked biscuits for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warm.
- Microwave: For a quick reheat, 15–20 seconds does the trick, but the oven keeps them crispier.
Final Thoughts
This 2-ingredient biscuit recipe proves that simple can still mean delicious. With minimal effort, you’ll have fluffy, golden, melt-in-your-mouth biscuits that taste like they took hours.
