Easiest Way to Make 2-Ingredient Biscuits (Print version)
Tender cream biscuits made with only self-rising flour and heavy cream, ready in about 22 minutes.
# Ingredients:
For the biscuits
01 -
2 cups (250 g) self-rising flour, plus more for dusting
02 -
1 1/2 cups (360 ml) cold heavy whipping cream, plus 1 tablespoon for brushing if desired
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Add the self-rising flour to a large bowl. Stir in the cold heavy cream until a shaggy, slightly sticky dough forms.
03 -
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Fold it over itself once or twice, then pat it to about 3/4 inch thick.
04 -
Dip a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter in flour and press straight down through the dough. Gather scraps gently and cut more biscuits.
05 -
Place the biscuits on the baking sheet, close together for soft sides or spaced apart for crisp edges. Brush tops with a little cream if desired. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until risen and lightly golden.
06 -
Let the biscuits cool for 3-5 minutes, then split and serve warm with butter, jam, honey, gravy, or eggs.
# Good to know:
01 -
Use cold heavy cream for the best texture.
02 -
A 2 1/2-inch cutter makes about 8 biscuits.
03 -
For homemade self-rising flour, use 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt per cup.
