Flaky & Easy 3 Ingredient Biscuit Recipe


  • Author: Emma
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 biscuits

Description

These buttery, flaky 3 ingredient biscuits come together in just 25 minutes using simple pantry staples. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a comforting side dish, they’re a must-have in every home cook’s rotation.


Ingredients

– 2 cups self-rising flour

– 1 cup heavy cream

– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus more for brushing)


Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).

2. In a large bowl, combine self-rising flour and heavy cream. Mix gently with a fork or hands until a dough forms. Do not overmix.

3. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat out to ¾-inch thickness.

4. Cut out 8 biscuits using a biscuit cutter or glass. Avoid twisting the cutter.

5. Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet close together.

6. Brush tops with half the melted butter.

7. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.

8. Optional: Brush with remaining butter after baking for extra flavor and shine.

Notes

If you don’t have self-rising flour, mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 tablespoon baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt.

Customize with add-ins like shredded cheese, herbs, or garlic powder for extra flavor.
