2 Ingredient Biscuits Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups self rising flour
240 g
- 1¼ cup cold heavy cream
300 ml
Directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 450 F (232 C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, whisk the self rising flour with the heavy cream. Mix everything together until just combined. The mixture will feel a bit tacky, but shouldn’t be too dry or too wet. This is a shaggy dough. If needed add a splash more heavy cream or 1 - 2 more tablespoons of flour.
- 3
Lightly flour a clean work surface. Roll out the heavy cream biscuit dough into a ½ inch thick disk. Select a 2 or 2 ½ inch wide biscuit butter. Firmly press the biscuit cutter down through the dough to cut out a biscuit. Try not to twist the cutter. If needed dip the biscuit cutter into the flour to help it cut through the flour more easily. Repeat until 12 total biscuits have been cut out. The dough will need to be gathered and re-rolled to cut out the last few biscuits. Place the biscuits onto the lined baking sheet. Brush the tops of the biscuits with some heavy cream. If needed transfer the biscuits to chill in the fridge until cold to the touch.

Bake the biscuits in a fully preheated oven for 12 - 14 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown. Cool the biscuits on the hot baking sheet for 5 minutes. Serve with butter, jam or enjoy as is.

About this Recipe
Craving light, fluffy, and tender biscuits that taste like they came straight from a Southern kitchen, but without all the fuss? This incredible 2 ingredient biscuits recipe delivers exactly that, proving that sometimes, less truly is more.
Why These Biscuits Work
The magic lies in the carefully chosen simplicity. By combining self-rising flour and cold heavy cream, you harness the leavening power already present in the flour alongside the rich fat of the cream. This ingenious pairing creates a dough that transforms into deeply tender and flaky layers with a crisp, golden-brown exterior, much like a classic southern biscuit, all with minimal effort.
What to Expect
Prepare for a truly delightful experience that defies its humble ingredient list. You'll bite into biscuits that are wonderfully light and fluffy on the inside, offering a delicate texture that practically melts in your mouth. The outside boasts a perfect golden crust, providing a satisfying counterpoint to the soft interior. This recipe makes achieving bakery-quality biscuits surprisingly easy, even for novice bakers.
While the beauty of these biscuits lies in their minimal ingredients, you can easily personalize them. For a savory twist, consider gently folding in a tablespoon of fresh chives or a quarter cup of shredded cheddar cheese with the dry self-rising flour. Keep in mind that these additions will take you beyond the two-ingredient count, but they're delicious ways to make the recipe your own.
These versatile biscuits are perfect for any meal. Serve them warm with butter and jam for a comforting breakfast, alongside a hearty stew for dinner, or as a delightful accompaniment to a holiday spread. Their classic flavor makes them a welcome addition to countless dishes.
