OK – you may have a family recipe passed down for a great Southern Biscuit – BUT – if you aren’t 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. (I’m serious – 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.

Bake and Freeze Biscuits

Bake and Freeze Biscuits – 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 – 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 it’s 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 it’s whole milk. Try it and see what you like better.
