Megan
2 ingredient biscuits are tender and flaky biscuits made with self rising flour and heavy cream. These easy to make, two ingredient biscuits have light and fluffy interiors with crisp, golden brown exteriors and taste just like a classic southern biscuit.

Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 2 or 2½ inch biscuit butter
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 sheet parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups (240 g) self rising flour
  • 1¼ cup (300 ml) cold heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450 F (232 C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the self rising flour with the heavy cream. Mix everything together until just combined. The mixture will feel a bit tacky, but shouldn’t be too dry or too wet.
    This is a shaggy dough. If needed add a splash more heavy cream or 1 - 2 more tablespoons of flour. 
    2 cups (240 g) self rising flour, 1¼ cup (300 ml) cold heavy cream
  • Lightly flour a clean work surface. Roll out the heavy cream biscuit dough into a ½ inch thick disk. Select a 2 or 2 ½ inch wide biscuit butter. Firmly press the biscuit cutter down through the dough to cut out a biscuit. Try not to twist the cutter. If needed dip the biscuit cutter into the flour to help it cut through the flour more easily.
    Repeat until 12 total biscuits have been cut out. The dough will need to be gathered and re-rolled to cut out the last few biscuits. Place the biscuits onto the lined baking sheet. Brush the tops of the biscuits with some heavy cream. If needed transfer the biscuits to chill in the fridge until cold to the touch.
  • Bake the biscuits in a fully preheated oven for 12 - 14 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown. Cool the biscuits on the hot baking sheet for 5 minutes. Serve with butter, jam or enjoy as is.

Notes
