  • What it tastes like: Buttery, rich, soft-center biscuits with a golden, slightly crisp exterior.
  • Health & seasonal relevance: Made with self-rising flour—no yeast required. Great for spring gatherings or winter comfort nights.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups White Lily self-rising flour
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Tools needed:

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

How to Make Melt-in-Your-Mouth 2-Ingredient Biscuits

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. In a bowl, whisk flour.
  3. Pour in heavy whipping cream and stir gently with a spatula just until dough forms—don’t overmix! It will be shaggy and slightly sticky.
  4. Using a spoon or scoop, drop 8–10 mounds onto your sheet, about 2″ apart.
  5. Bake 12–15 minutes until tops gleam golden.
  6. Let crisp on the bottom, then serve warm with butter, jam, or stew.

Let the scent breezing through your kitchen pull you in—you’ve crafted magic!

What to Serve with Melt-in-Your-Mouth 2-Ingredient Biscuits

  • Steamy bowls of chili or thick chicken pot pie
  • Smothered in honey butter or jam for brunch
  • Paired with fresh berries and whipped cream
  • Accompanying eggs and bacon for a comforting breakfast

Tips for Making It Perfect

  • Don’t overmix: Light and fluffy is all about gentle handling.
  • Keep cream cold: Prevents overhydration.
  • Even sizing: Use an ice-cream scoop for equal, consistent biscuits.
  • Make-ahead hack: Assemble dough, flash-freeze biscuit mounds, then bake later (add 2–3 minutes baking time).

Storage Instructions

  • At room temperature: Airtight for 2 days—gently reheat in oven or toaster oven.
  • Freezer: Flash-freeze biscuit mounds, store in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. Bake frozen at 425°F for 15–18 minutes or until golden.

General Information

Biscuits trace back to early Southern kitchens, where resourceful cooks made do with flour and lard. Today, heavy cream gives them a rich lift, while self-rising flour simplifies the process. These are the perfect solution when you want biscuit bliss without the fuss of yeast or buttermilk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use all-purpose flour?
You’d need to add 3 tsp baking powder + ½ tsp salt to 2 cups of AP flour to replicate self-rising flour.

Q: What if cream is too runny or thick?
If crumbs are too dry, add a bit more cream (1–2 tsp). If wet, sprinkle a touch of flour.

Q: Are these gluten-free?
Not as written—they use wheat flour. For gluten-free, try a 1:1 GF self-rising blend.

Q: Can I add cheese or herbs?
Absolutely! Mix in up to ½ cup of shredded cheese or a few tbsp of chopped herbs for flavor.

Q: How to reheat leftover biscuits?
Oven/toaster oven at 350°F for ~5 minutes—perfect for reviving that crisp exterior.
