These biscuits make a satisfying accompaniment to any meal. I never made biscuits until I tried this two-ingredient recipe, now my husband wants them all the time! —Diane Hixon, Niceville, Florida

Ingredients

2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flour and cream. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead for 5 minutes or until no longer sticky. Roll dough to a 1/2-in. thickness. Cut into 2-1/2-in. biscuits.
Place in a large ungreased cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet. Bake at 450° until golden brown, 8-10 minutes.

Editor's Note: If you don't have self-rising flour, add 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt to 2 cups all-purpose flour.

Editor's Note

As a substitute for each cup of self-rising flour, place 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup. Add all-purpose flour to measure 1 cup.

Sorry, but these were disappointing and not nearly as tender or soft as my go to recipe that calls for butter and shortening!

Delicious and so fast and easy! I used the editor's note and added baking powder and salt to my flour. Thank you, Diane, for sharing this recipe. I used it to accompany a tuna casserole.

I have made these biscuits twice. I used Jovial Foods Einkorn flour, added the 1 Tbsp baking powder and 1 tsp salt since it is not a self rising flour. However it is a "soft" flour as is needed for biscuits. The result was a delicious, high, and light biscuit!

Not sure how this recipe is as just a biscuit, but I use it all the time for a quick pizza crust, and everybody loves it.
