How to Make Two Ingredient Biscuits

Ingredients:

2 cups self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a round cake pan or iron skillet with oil or solid Crisco. Avoid using butter, as it can brown the bottoms too much.
In a large bowl, combine the flour and heavy whipping cream. Mix just until they come together.
Transfer the dough to a floured work surface. Fold the dough over itself like a calzone and repeat this process three more times. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.
Using your hand, pat the dough out to a thickness of about 3/4 to 1 inch.
With a 2 1/2-inch biscuit or cookie cutter, cut the biscuits by pressing straight down and lifting the cutter back up. Make sure to dip the cutter in flour as needed, but do not twist it.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until they are golden brown on top. Once done, brush the tops with butter and enjoy!

How to Serve Two Ingredient Biscuits

These biscuits are versatile and can be served in various ways. Enjoy them warm, spread with butter and jam, or alongside your favorite soup or stew. They also make a great base for breakfast sandwiches with eggs and bacon.

How to Store Two Ingredient Biscuits

To store leftover biscuits, let them cool completely. Place them in an airtight container and keep them at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Wrap each biscuit tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Tips to Make Two Ingredient Biscuits

Make sure to use self-rising flour for the best results; it helps the biscuits rise and become fluffy.
If the dough feels too sticky, don’t hesitate to add extra flour when needed.
Avoid twisting the cutter when cutting the biscuits, as this can prevent them from rising properly.

Variation

You can add different flavors to your biscuits by mixing in ingredients like shredded cheese, herbs, or even a sprinkle of garlic powder for an extra kick.
