Melt-in-Your-Mouth 2-Ingredient Biscuits 🍪✨

Introduction

Fluffy, tender, and impossibly soft, these 2-ingredient biscuits are the ultimate comfort food. With just self-rising flour and heavy cream, you can whip up a batch in under 20 minutes—perfect for breakfast, tea, or as a side to soups and stews. The magic is in the simplicity: no yeast, no butter, no fuss—just soft, golden pillows of deliciousness that literally melt in your mouth.

These biscuits are perfect for those spontaneous cravings, last-minute guests, or cozy weekend mornings. Serve them with honey, jam, gravy, or just enjoy them fresh and warm straight from the oven.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups White Lily self-rising flour (or any self-rising flour)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold works best)

Optional toppings: melted butter, garlic powder, fresh herbs, or a sprinkle of sea salt.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Mix the Dough

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and cream.
  • Stir gently until a soft, sticky dough forms. Do not overmix—overworking will make biscuits tough.

Step 3: Shape the Biscuits

  • Lightly flour your hands and a surface.
  • Pat the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness.
  • Use a round cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits.
  • Gather scraps, gently pat again, and cut more biscuits.

Step 4: Bake

  • Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.
  • Remove from oven and brush with melted butter if desired.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

  • Serve warm. Biscuits are best the same day but can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.

Methods

  • Folding gently: This helps maintain air pockets, keeping the biscuits fluffy.
  • Cold cream: Ensures biscuits rise well and gives a tender crumb.
  • High heat: A hot oven creates a golden crust while keeping interiors soft.

History & Formation

The concept of 2-ingredient biscuits comes from modern simplifications of classic Southern biscuits. Traditionally, biscuits required flour, butter, and buttermilk—often with careful folding to achieve layers. White Lily flour, with its lower protein content, was a Southern favorite for tender baked goods.

Over time, home cooks discovered that heavy cream alone provides enough fat and moisture to make tender, rich biscuits without butter or eggs. These biscuits have become a staple for easy breakfasts and quick dinners, celebrated for their simplicity and comfort factor.

Conclusion

These 2-ingredient biscuits are proof that simplicity often equals perfection. They’re soft, buttery (even without butter), and golden—a true crowd-pleaser. From Sunday brunches to weeknight dinners, they bring a little bit of magic to the table with minimal effort.

Lovers of These Biscuits Say…

  • “I’ve never made biscuits so quickly, yet they taste like they took hours!”
  • “Perfect with honey and jam, they disappear in minutes at our house.”
  • “I can’t believe it’s only flour and cream—it’s like a little slice of heaven.”

Tips for Biscuit Lovers

  1. Experiment with mix-ins: shredded cheese, herbs, or garlic powder for savory twists.
  2. Layer for extra fluff: Fold the dough gently once before cutting for slightly taller biscuits.
  3. Storage: Keep in an airtight container for 1–2 days or freeze for longer shelf life.
  4. Reheat carefully: Warm in oven for a few minutes for that fresh-baked texture.
