Melt-in-Your-Mouth 2-Ingredient Biscuits


(Makes 8–10 biscuits)

For the Biscuits:

  • 1 cup self-rising flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 1 cup cold heavy cream (or buttermilk for a tangier flavor)

Optional Toppings:

  • Melted butter (for brushing)
  • Honey, jam, or preserves
  • Fresh herbs (like chives or rosemary) for savory biscuits

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup.

2. Mix the Dough

  1. In a mixing bowl, add the self-rising flour.
  2. Pour in the cold heavy cream and stir gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.

3. Shape the Biscuits

  1. Lightly flour your hands and a clean surface. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface.
  2. Gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
  3. Use a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure even rising.
  4. Gather any scraps, gently re-pat the dough, and cut additional biscuits.

4. Bake

  1. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each biscuit for spreading.
  2. Optional: Brush the tops with melted butter for added richness and a golden finish.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffy.

5. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  2. Serve warm with your favorite toppings—butter, honey, jam, or even gravy for a savory twist.

Tips for Success

  • Use Cold Ingredients: Keep the heavy cream cold to help create flaky layers in the biscuits.
  • Don’t Overwork the Dough: Handle the dough as little as possible to avoid tough biscuits.
  • Experiment with Variations: Add shredded cheese, garlic powder, or fresh herbs to the dough for a flavored twist.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare the dough ahead of time, cut it into biscuits, and freeze them on a baking sheet. Transfer to a freezer bag and bake directly from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to the cooking time.
