These biscuits are just two ingredients. They come out tender and moist and you won’t believe how easy they are.

I’ve got yet another super simple recipe to share with you today – two ingredient homemade biscuits. They are as simple as they sound and they’re delicious, too.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • This is a great recipe when you are short on time but want something homemade and fresh-baked.
  • This recipe uses self-rising flour which is all purpose flour with baking powder and salt mixed in.
  • There’s no need to add in cold butter, roll out the dough, or cut out biscuits. They’re extremely fast to make.
  • You can serve these for breakfast, brunch, or as a side dish for dinner. I really like them with my baked fried chicken.

Ingredients

  • Self-rising flour
  • Heavy cream

Flour: If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make it. Substitute 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt.

Heavy cream: This makes the biscuits soft and tender. The tops of the biscuits are also brushed with cream before they are baked.

Optional: I like to brush the tops of the baked biscuits with honey to give them a glossy finish, but this is optional.

How to Make Them

  1. Make the biscuit dough: Combine the flour and crem in a large bowl and then knead the mixture a few times until well combined.
  2. Portion the dough: Take 2 ounces of dough to form each biscuit and place them on a prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of each biscuit with cream.
  3. Bake the biscuits: Place the pan in the oven and bake the biscuits at 450°F for about 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Expert Tips

  • Don’t overwork the dough. You really only have to mix until just combined and then knead the dough a few times. If you overmix the biscuits will be tough.
  • You can make the biscuits bigger or smaller.
  • The biscuits are delicious plain, but I like to brush warm honey it on each of them before serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups self rising flour, (see note)
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp honey, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.  Add flour and heavy cream to a bowl and stir until it comes together. Knead together a few times with your hands until all of the flour is incorporated. 
  • Break off 2 oz balls (the dough should be enough to make 6, and should be twice the size than the ones I have in my photo above). Place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  • Brush tops of biscuits with additional cream. Place biscuits in oven, on upper shelf (making sure the shelf is not too close to the top of the oven or your biscuits may brown too fast). Bake about 11-12 minutes until biscuits turn a golden brown and are fully cooked. While biscuits are cooling, you can warm honey and brush tops with honey before serving.

Notes

If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt.
