These biscuits are the epitome of easy baking: just two ingredients, no fancy equipment, and only about 20 minutes from start to finish—including baking time! There’s no need for chilling, complicated shaping, or advanced skills. If you have flour and cream, you have tender, luscious biscuits just minutes away.

Ingredients

2 cups White Lily self-rising flour

1 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and heavy whipping cream.
Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms—don’t overmix.
Lightly flour your work surface and turn the dough onto it. Knead gently just 3-4 times until mostly smooth.
Pat or roll the dough out to about 1 inch thickness.
Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out biscuit shapes, placing each onto a baking sheet (no need for greasing if using parchment paper).
Gather any scraps and repeat until all dough is used.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and deliciously fragrant.
Serve immediately, warm and fresh.

What to Serve With

Pair your fresh-from-the-oven biscuits with classic breakfast favorites like scrambled eggs and crispy bacon, or serve them as a comforting side with homemade chicken stew. For a sweeter option, go for strawberry jam and a pat of butter. If you’re feeling indulgent, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup brings out their rich, creamy flavor even more. For drinks, coffee and sweet tea both complement these biscuits beautifully, making for a truly Southern-inspired spread.

Top Tips for Perfecting

For the fluffiest biscuits, use a light touch—overworking the dough makes biscuits tough.
White Lily self-rising flour is preferred due to its lower protein content, but any self-rising flour will work if needed.
Out of heavy cream? You can substitute full-fat coconut cream for a dairy-free version, though the flavor will change slightly.
Cut biscuits straight down without twisting the cutter, to let them rise tall and even.
If you don’t have a biscuit cutter, a glass with a thin rim works well.

Storing and Reheating Tips

These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep longer, refrigerate them for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months in a freezer-safe zip bag. When ready to enjoy, reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes, or pop in the microwave for 15 seconds. If frozen, thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating for optimal texture.

FAQs

Can I use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour?

Self-rising flour is key for this recipe, but you can make your own by adding 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt for every cup of all-purpose flour.

How do I prevent the biscuits from turning out dry or crumbly?

Avoid overmixing and overbaking—mix just until combined, and bake until just golden.

What’s the best way to cut out biscuits without a cutter?

A sharp-edged drinking glass works perfectly in place of a biscuit cutter.

Can I freeze the dough instead of the baked biscuits?

Absolutely! Shape and cut the biscuits, then freeze on a baking sheet before transferring to a bag. Bake straight from frozen, adding a few minutes to the bake time.

Is there a dairy-free alternative to heavy whipping cream?

For a dairy-free option, try using full-fat coconut cream, but note that it will change the flavor and texture slightly.
