The simplest biscuit recipe, yielding pillowy-soft rounds perfect for customization! Takes just minutes to make.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings12 biscuits

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces/170g by weight self-rising flour (1 1/2 cups)
  • 6 ounces/170g by weight heavy cream (3/4 cup)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • optional: any mix-ins as desired (see notes)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
  • Place all ingredients in a bowl and gently mix with a fork until combined. If dough doesn't combine, very slowly drizzle in just a bit of extra cream until it comes together.
  • Spoon or use a cookie scoop to drop rounds onto baking sheet, 2-3 inches apart, or alternately you can pat/roll the dough out and then use a biscuit cutter.
  • Brush the tops of biscuits lightly with cream, milk, or water.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes or until puffed and golden.
  • Yields 8-12 biscuits depending on size.

Notes

Add different seasonings, cheeses, etc. for different flavor combinations. Simply mix in before combining dough together. Remember to decrease salt in recipe if adding a salty ingredient. These make great strawberry shortcakes as well!
