Fluffy Two Ingredient Biscuit Recipe

Good Things Are Meant to be Shared!

After testing dozens of biscuit recipes over the years, I can confidently say these Two-Ingredient Cream Biscuits are a total game-changer. This recipe has been tried, retested, and perfected to create biscuits that are incredibly tender on the inside and beautifully flaky on the outside, all with just heavy cream and self-rising flour. The rich cream gives them a melt-in-your-mouth texture that pairs perfectly with everything from breakfast eggs to hearty soups or strawberry shortcakes. If you’ve been searching for an easy, foolproof biscuit recipe, this is the one you’ll keep coming back to.

Biscuits can be really intimidating to make. There are so many rules that you need to follow, like don't use butter that is too warm, don't overwork them, don't roll them out too much. It can be a lot! But not these biscuits! You won't believe how fast these easy biscuits are to make!

There's a secret ingredient to all biscuits! In my sourdough biscuits it's my sourdough discard, but in these fluffy biscuits it's the self rising flour! I always have self rising flour in my pantry because you can make so many different recipes! You can make pancakes with self-rising flour, waffles with self-rising flour, 3-ingredient dinner rolls, chocolate chip cookies with self-rising flour, and even banana bread with self-rising flour!

Why You'll Love These 2 Ingredients Biscuits

• These 2-ingredient cream biscuits are easy to make! What is easier than a two ingredient recipe? Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, cut, and bake! Just like Buttermilk Drop Biscuits and buttermilk biscuits, these are super easy to make!
• You don't need any equipment! All you need is a large bowl, a wooden spoon, and a 2-inch biscuit cutter. The biscuit cutter is optional because you can easily make these squares by cutting them with a knife or a sharp bench scraper.
• They are great for sweet or savory recipes! These are the perfect biscuits for sweet desserts, slathered in strawberry preserves, or to dip in soup and chili.

Ingredients For Heavy Whipping Cream Biscuits

You only need a few simple ingredients to make these 2-ingredient biscuits!

• 2 cups self-rising flour. You can use your favorite brand of self-rising flour or if you have homemade self-rising flour that would work perfectly too. Make sure you are not using all purpose flour, you need self-rising flour. You can easily find self rising flour in the grocery store, but you can also make your own homemade self rising flour if you want too!
• Heavy cream. Heavy cream or heavy whipping cream. You really can't use anything less than heavy cream because you need the extra fat in these biscuits to get that southern biscuits texture.

How to Make 2 Ingredients Biscuits

2 Ingredients Biscuits Recipe Tips and Tricks

• This is quite a sticky dough. Add a little more self-rising flour to the dough if the dough is unworkable. Don't add too much flour or the biscuits will become very dry.
• You can use a rolling pin if you would like to roll dough instead of shaping it with your hands, but I found it easy to simply press the dough into a mass and cut it from there.

How to Serve Heavy Whipping Cream Biscuits

• As a strawberry shortcake. Cut the flakey biscuits in half and place biscuits on a plate. Cut up strawberries and pile them high on the biscuits. Top it with homemade whipped cream or ready made whipped cream. I won't judge! If you don't have fresh strawberries, you can also use Instant Pot strawberry jam.
• Use Greek yogurt! It might seem crazy, but you can actually use sour cream or Greek yogurt in place of heavy whipping cream in this easy homemade biscuits recipe.
• Use buttermilk! Just like Greek yogurt, make these buttermilk biscuits instead of cream biscuits.
• Make them savory! Mix in cheddar cheese, Colby jack cheese, Monterrey jack cheese, and some herbs to make this a more savory easy biscuit recipe.
• With eggs! Serve these delicious biscuits with chorizo, eggs, and potatoes for a hearty, filling breakfast!

Storing 2 Ingredients Biscuits

The great thing about this easy recipe is that there are lots of make-ahead options! You can make the dough ahead and the rolls ahead of time! Here's how!

To make the dough ahead of time, mix everything together and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Place the dough in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you are ready to bake the biscuits, place the unbaked biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

To make this cream biscuit recipe ahead of time, bake them completely and then allow them to cool to room temperature. Keep them in an airtight container up to 4 days. You can also freeze these rolls in a freezer safe bag for 3 months. Defrost them right on your counter.
