Fast and Easy 2 Ingredient Biscuits
OK โ you may have a family recipe passed down for a great Southern Biscuit โ BUT โ if you arenโt a baker and want to make a homemade biscuit these Fast and Easy 2 Ingredients Biscuits is just for you. Yes, I said 2 ingredients. Heavy Cream and Self-Rising Flour.
If you are a baker or keep a well-stocked pantry and refrigerator, you probably have these 2 ingredients on hand most of the time. (Iโm serious โ these two ingredient biscuits are amazing!)
These pair up well with the apple butter and pumpkin butter recipes (see below).
Although I have made biscuits from scratch without a recipe my whole life, I started making these several years ago as another fast and easy way to do so.

Simple Homemade Biscuits โ The Easiest Biscuits, Ever

Bake and Freeze Biscuits
Bake and Freeze Biscuits โ This is great to do so you can pull a biscuit out for a grab and go breakfast or snack.
How to Freeze Biscuits Before Baking
Freeze before baking โ After cutting them out, place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for 24 hours. You can then place individual biscuits in a zip-lock bag and bake the number you need. You get that fresh-made taste when doing this.
Can I use milk instead of cream in these 2 ingredient biscuits?
I would say yes, but I really like using the cream. The purpose of the 2 ingredient dough is that itโs really light and delicious and easy to make. The cream gives it richness but this can still happen with milk, too but I would make sure itโs whole milk. Try it and see what you like better.

How many does this make? Thanks.
With a 2″ cutter, usually about 8 – 10 if you re-roll the dough. Sometimes I do use a smaller cutter. Hope you enjoy.
Just made some and they turned out great! I also made a batch to freeze. How long and at what temp would I bake the frozen biscuits?
I’m glad you enjoyed them. Usually when I cook a frozen biscuit, I just allow a couple more minutes than the normal time, unless you made them quite thick.
Made these biscuits for the first time. The were delicious. Thank you for sharing.
They are so quick and easy. Glad you enjoyed them.
Can buttermilk be used in place of heavy cream?
I have never tried it but did research a little. Some say it’s fine, but other sites says it’s not the same consistency. You could give it a try in maybe half a recipe and see if you like it. Then let me know. Everyone has different tastes. One person said they preferred McDonalds biscuits to any homemade, can’t agree with that.
Great recipe! Easy and very tasty. My family loves them. Thanks for sharing.
They really are easy and delicious. I may make some this morning. Glad you enjoyed them.
Hi
Can you incorporate butter into your dough before baking?
Thanks
I have never tried that. If you did try it, I would try a small amount of butter, which had been frozen then grated. I don’t think you would want to try melted butter or large chunks. Let me know if you try.
The first batch didnโt work. Iโm not a quitter so I did it again. Same flour same cream. They are delicious!!!
It’s weird sometimes how things will mess up. Glad they worked the 2nd time.
I’m a guy who loves to cook. My MIL makes the best biscuit I’ve ever had. I went through a phase, trying to make ‘better-than-hers’ biscuits. It never worked. I saw this recipe and it rang all my bells! No cutting butter, which I absolutely despise! I did your recipe exactly, except added a scant pinch of salt. Sifted the flour to aerate it, didn’t overwork it. Let me say, this recipe took me to biscuit Nirvana! SO light, slightly crispy on the bottoms, just awesome in every measure. My wife had fallen out of love with biscuits, even her Mom’s. SHE raved! My chin hit the floor! Ok, I’m going back to bed now because my day has already peaked, I can do nothing to eclipse these biscuits! Thank you so much for this recipe, they’ve earned a spot in the ‘best loved’ rotation!
Made 1/2 batch to test out. My are excellent!! So simple too. Love good southern biscuits and sausage gravy. These fit the bill perfectly.
Can the oven be on 350 an how long biscuits stay fresh?
Most recipes like this call for a higher temp. These should keep 3 – 5 days in an airtight container, or I will choose to refrigerate or even freeze for later use.
These look delicious Rosemary! Thanks for sharing! Pinning ?
They are and so easy. Who doesn’t love a fresh, hot biscuit????
I wouldn’t recommend butter. You have cream in it already. And you put butter on them when they are warm from the oven anyways. But to each his own.
There’s not additional butter in the biscuit so I’m a bit confused on your statement.
It’s hard to believe that these gorgeous biscuits are made with just two ingredients! I bet they are delicious with butter and jam! ๐ (Did you know you can use non-fat Greek yogurt instead of cream for a Weight Watchers friendly ‘bread’?) Pinned, and I’m so happy to be featuring you at Tuesday Turn About this week.
Thank you so much. I didn’t know that about the yogurt. Blackberry jam or a little honey is my favorite.
We love us some biscuits around here so I can hardly wait to try these! Thanks for sharing it with us. Pinned
Nothing better than a good, hot biscuit. Love them. Hope you enjoy them.
Can you use brown sugar and Vanilla for a sweet Biscuit
In the biscuit? I’m sure vanilla would be fine as part of the liquid but I don’t know how adding brown sugar might change the consistency to the biscuit. You might would need to adjust the baking time. Something like this – I say just it. Make a note so if you need to adjust it the next time. Let me know.
I made these tonight, just wanted to try the new recipe. OMG these are the easiest and best I have ever made. My new breakfast friend………
2 ingredients is amazing, affordable and simple. Thanks for sharing, they look delicious.
I make these up quite often and freeze them. I like making them different sizes too.
These look so easy to make and are wonderful. Are Southern Biscuits the same as scones? They do look the same.
I guess I need to buy self rising flour! Or just find a recipe for it…. They look tasty!
