My 3 ingredient biscuits are made with heavy cream and self-rising flour and take 15 minutes. No butter and no buttermilk are needed; they are fluffy and flaky.

Ingredients

2 cups self rising flour * See notes
1 1/2 cups heavy cream plus more for brushing ** See notes
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 250C/500F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self rising flour, salt, and heavy cream until combined. Using your hands, gently knead several times until smooth.
Lightly flour a kitchen surface and transfer the dough on top. Flatten the dough until around half an inch in thickness. Using a biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with extra heavy cream.
Bake the biscuits for 10-12 minutes, until they puff up and begin to go golden on top. Remove them from the oven and if desired, brush with more heavy cream.

Notes

TO STORE: Biscuits are best enjoyed within 3 days of baking them. They will keep well, covered. If you want to keep them a little longer, feel free to store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

TO FREEZE: Place leftover biscuits in a ziplock bag and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw them to room temperature before reheating.

REHEATING: Microwave biscuits for 30 seconds or place them in the preheated oven and heat for 5-6 minutes until warm.

Variations

Make vegan biscuits. Use plant-based cream.
Make gluten-free biscuits. Use certified gluten-free self-rising flour.
Make tangy biscuits. I love homemade buttermilk biscuits, but I don’t usually have buttermilk lying around. To give these biscuits a tangy flavor, add a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice or white vinegar to the heavy cream.

Add mix-ins. Try spices (like paprika, Italian seasonings, red pepper flakes), fresh herbs (chopped basil or parsley), garlic, onion, or even shredded cheese. Make sweet biscuits. Carefully fold in fresh blueberries, chocolate chips, or top them with lemon glaze.
