4-Ingredient Cream Biscuits

   


                            Yield: 
12 biscuits                   Prep Time 5 mins                 Cook Time 10 mins

4-Ingredient Cream Biscuits – the easiest, fluffiest, flaky homemade biscuits ever! Just self-rising flour (I make my own self-rising flour since I don’t use it often enough to want to store it) and heavy cream – no butter. PLUS they only take 15 minutes from start to finish. Great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Give these a try the next time you get a craving for biscuits. You won't be disappointed!

Ingredients:

·         2 cups self-rising flour*

·         1½ cups heavy whipping cream

Instructions:

1.  Preheat oven to 500ºF degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

2.  Place flour in a large bowl. Gradually stir in cream, adding just enough to moisten flour to a sticky dough.

3.   Dump biscuit dough onto a lightly floured surface (use the self-rising flour for dusting).

4.   Gently pat, knead, and roll the dough to about a ½-inch thickness. Dust with flour on top of biscuit dough and fold over (increases flakiness).

5.   Pat or roll dough gently to a ½-inch thickness – approximately a 7-inch square.

6.   Cut dough into squares with a bench scraper or with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Rerolling dough as needed to use all dough.

7.     Place biscuits on the parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

*This will make 1 cup of self-rising flour.  Double  ingredients to make enough for this recipe.  To make self-rising flour, combine and whisk together:

o    1 cup all-purpose flour

o    1 ½ tsp baking powder

o    ¼ tsp salt
