π The Secret? Self-Rising Flour & Heavy Cream!
Hereβs what makes these biscuits so magical:
β¨ Self-rising flour: It already has the right mix of flour, baking powder, and salt.
β¨ Heavy cream: Provides the fat and liquid, resulting in a tender crumb.
Thatβs it! These two work together like a dream to create a light, fluffy biscuit thatβll wow anyone who tries it.
π½οΈ Simple Two-Ingredient Biscuits Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup heavy cream (also called whipping cream)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 450Β°F (230Β°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and heavy cream. Stir gently with a spoon until a dough forms. If itβs too sticky, add a tiny bit more flour.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead just a few times to bring it togetherβdonβt overdo it, or your biscuits may turn tough.
- Pat the dough into a ΒΎ-inch thick rectangle.
- Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits. Gather the scraps and re-roll as needed.
- Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Serve warm with butter, jam, or gravy!
π₯ Pro tip: For an extra golden top, brush with melted butter before baking. π§
π‘ Extra Tips & Tricks
π Donβt overmix! Too much mixing can make the biscuits dense. Gently bring the dough together.
π Use cold cream: Cold heavy cream helps create tender, flaky layers.
π Customize! Add shredded cheese, fresh herbs (like chives or rosemary), or a touch of sugar for sweet biscuits.
π Freeze them! Make a double batch and freeze before baking. When ready, bake straight from the freezer, adding a couple extra minutes.
π No self-rising flour? Make your own: For every cup of all-purpose flour, add 1Β½ teaspoons baking powder and ΒΌ teaspoon salt.
π€ Common Questions About This Two-Ingredient Biscuit Recipe
β Can I use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising?
Yes, but youβll need to add baking powder and salt (see the tip above) to get the same rise and texture.
β Can I make them vegan?
You could try using a plant-based heavy cream substitute (like a thick coconut cream) and a self-rising flour alternative. Results may vary, but itβs a fun experiment! π±
β Can I make them ahead?
Absolutely! You can make the dough, cut out the biscuits, and freeze them unbaked. When youβre ready, bake them directly from the freezer. Just add a few more minutes to the baking time.
β Why are my biscuits dense?
This usually happens if you overmix the dough or if your self-rising flour is old and has lost its leavening power. Also, make sure to use cold cream and handle the dough as little as possible.
β How can I make them extra fancy?
Top with honey butter, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, or even drizzle with a simple icing if youβre feeling adventurous. These biscuits are a blank canvas! π¨
