How to Make 2-Ingredient Cream Biscuits

As I said, these biscuits are ridiculously easy to make. Simply combine self-rising flour and heavy whipping cream. Knead gently until combined. Pour the dough onto a floured countertop. Gently pat, knead and roll the dough to a 1/2-inch thickness. Dust with flour. Fold the dough over on top of itself. Pat, knead, and roll the dough out again. Cut dough with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place biscuits on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake.

Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

• I use White Lily self-rising flour.
• To make self-rising flour, combine:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
• If making your own self-rising flour, check the date on your baking powder. Expired baking powder will cause your biscuits not to rise.
• One cup of flour weighs 4-ounces. Toproperly measure flour, give the flour a stir to loosen it up in the container. Use a spoon and lightly spoon theflourinto yourmeasuringcup. Use a flat straight edge (like the straight back of a knife) to level off the top of theflourin the measuring cup. DoNOT compact the flourin the measuring cup.
• Be careful not to over-mix/knead the dough. You want to mix the dough just until it comes together and knead it two or three times max.
• Feel free to mix in some cheese or chives to the dough.
• The biscuits bake at 500ºF. YES, that is the correct temperature.
• You can cut the biscuits with any size biscuit cutter or even cut the dough into squares if you don’t have a biscuit cutter. You may need to adjust the cooking time if making smaller or larger biscuits.
• These biscuits are best warm from the oven. You can refrigerate or freeze leftovers. Warm them up in the microwave or covered in foil in the oven.
