Description
The 3-ingredient biscuit recipe is proof that sometimes, less is more. With just self-rising flour, heavy cream, and a touch of sugar, you can create biscuits that are fluffy, tender, and utterly delicious.
Ingredients
Scale
-
- 2 cups self-rising flour (plus extra for dusting)
-
- 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
-
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
Instructions
-
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C). This high temperature ensures the biscuits rise quickly and develop a golden-brown crust.
-
- Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and sugar (if using). Gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix—just stir until no dry flour remains.
-
- Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it 2-3 times to bring it together. Avoid over-kneading, as this can make the biscuits tough.
-
- Shape the Biscuits: Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out the biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure even rising.
-
- Bake: Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
-
- Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.
