Melt-in-Your-Mouth 2-Ingredient Biscuits
If you’re looking for a quick, no-fuss recipe, these 2-ingredient biscuits are a classic shortcut. They’re soft, tender, and come together in minutes using self-rising flour and cream. The result is a rich, fluffy biscuit with a delicate crumb—perfect for breakfast or as a side.
Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 to 1¼ cups heavy cream
That’s it—no butter, no eggs, no yeast.
Why This Works
self-rising flour already contains baking powder and salt, which means it provides both structure and lift. The heavy cream supplies fat and moisture, replacing the need for butter and creating a soft, “melt-in-your-mouth” texture.
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking tray or lightly grease it.
2. Make the Dough
In a bowl, combine the self-rising flour and heavy cream. Stir gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the biscuits dense.
3. Shape the Biscuits
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it down to about 2 cm thickness. Cut into rounds using a cutter or glass.
4. Bake
Place biscuits on the tray, close together for softer sides or spaced apart for crispier edges. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden on top.
5. Serve
Serve warm. They’re great on their own or with butter, honey, or jam.
Tips for Best Results
- Use cold cream for a better texture
- Handle the dough lightly to keep biscuits tender
- If the dough feels too sticky, add a small amount of flour gradually
- For extra richness, brush the tops with a little cream before baking
Variations
- Add shredded cheese for savory biscuits
- Mix in herbs like parsley or chives
- Sprinkle a little sugar on top for a lightly sweet version

These biscuits are proof that simple ingredients can still deliver excellent results. With just self-rising flour and cream, you can create soft, flavorful biscuits in under 20 minutes.
