These 2-Ingredient Cream Biscuits are hands down the easiest and BEST biscuits EVER! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

How to Make 2-Ingredient Biscuits

This easy biscuit recipe is made with only two pantry ingredients. In a medium bowl, combine self-rising flour and heavy whipping cream with a wooden spoon. 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 in a preheated oven until golden brown. Brush with melted butter and enjoy!

Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

• The biscuits bake at 500ºF. YES, that is the correct temperature.
• 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. To properly measure flour, give the flour a stir to loosen it up in the container. Use a spoon and lightly spoon the flour into your measuring cup. Use a flat straight edge (like the straight back of a knife) to level off the top of the flour in the measuring cup. Do NOT compact the flour in 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.
• 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.

Storage Tips

• Can I freeze biscuits? Yes. To freeze the unbaked biscuits, place the biscuits on a baking sheet and place in the freezer. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag and store for up to four months.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
• 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.

What to Serve with Two-Ingredient Biscuits

This recipe will change your views on making homemade biscuits! These biscuits are effortless. They are perfect for a hectic weekday morning and weeknight or a lazy Sunday. The hardest part of this recipe is waiting for the biscuits to cool off enough to eat. 

These fluffy biscuits practically beg for something delicious on the side. 

• For breakfast, serve them warm with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, or a simple sausage gravy to soak up all those flaky layers. 
• If you’re thinking more along the lines of dinner, they pair perfectly with hearty comfort food—think fried chicken, pot roast, or a big bowl of soup or chili. 
• And of course, you can never go wrong setting them out with some butter, honey, or jam for a simple but irresistible bite.
