Description

These Melt-in-Your-Mouth 2-Ingredient Biscuits are the easiest, fluffiest biscuits you’ll ever make! With just two simple ingredients, you can whip up tender, buttery biscuits in minutes—no yeast, no rolling pin, and no fuss. Perfect for breakfast, dinner, or as a quick snack, these biscuits pair wonderfully with jam, gravy, or just a pat of butter.

Ingredients

• 2 cups self-rising flour (plus extra for dusting)

• 1 cup heavy cream (cold)

*(Optional add-ins: 1 tbsp sugar for sweeter biscuits, 1/2 tsp garlic powder for savory, or 1/4 cup shredded cheese for extra flavor.)*

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

• Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Mix the Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the self-rising flour.

2. Slowly pour in the cold heavy cream, stirring with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until a shaggy dough forms.

3. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle a little extra flour (1 tbsp at a time) until it’s manageable.

(Tip: Do not overmix—this keeps the biscuits tender!)

Step 3: Shape the Biscuits

1. Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough onto it.

2. Gently pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle (no rolling pin needed!).

3. Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits. Press straight down—no twisting!

4. Gather scraps, pat them back together, and cut more biscuits until all dough is used.

(For drop biscuits: Skip shaping and simply scoop dough with a spoon onto the baking sheet.)

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

• Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.

• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

• Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions

• Sweet option: Drizzle with honey or serve with jam.

• Savory option: Split open and top with butter, gravy, or fried chicken for a quick biscuit sandwich.

Nutritional Information (Per Biscuit)

(Nutritional values are approximate and may vary based on ingredient brands and optional add-ins.)

Storage & Reheating

• Room Temp: Store in an airtight container for 1-2 days.

• Freezer-Friendly: Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes.

Why This Recipe Works

• Self-rising flour already contains baking powder and salt, eliminating extra steps.

• Heavy cream adds richness and moisture, making these biscuits ultra-tender.

• No butter needed—the fat in the cream keeps them flaky!

Final Thoughts

These 2-Ingredient Biscuits are a game-changer for busy mornings or last-minute meals. They’re so simple, yet so delicious—truly melt-in-your-mouth goodness!
