Featured in Irresistible Desserts.

Whip up these melt-in-your-mouth biscuits in no time with just two simple ingredients: self-rising flour and heavy whipping cream. Start by preheating your oven to 450°F and preparing a baking sheet. Mix the flour and cream gently to form a soft dough, ensuring you don't overmix. Shape the dough on a floured surface and cut it into rounds. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden, then enjoy them warm with your favorite toppings like butter, honey, or jam. Effortless, soft, and irresistibly delicious!

White Lily flour transformed my biscuit game completely. On a trip through Tennessee, I stocked up on bags of this Southern staple after a local baker shared her family secret. The difference was immediately noticeable in both texture and rise, creating that distinctive layered effect that marks truly exceptional biscuits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Difficulty: Easy

Cuisine: Southern American

Yield: 8 biscuits (approximately)

Dietary: Vegetarian

Ingredients

→ Main Ingredients

01 2 cups self-rising flour (recommendation: White Lily for better texture)
02 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Step 01

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 02

In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and heavy whipping cream. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula just until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.

Step 03

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a ¾-inch thick rectangle. Use a round biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits. Gather the scraps, re-pat, and cut more.

Step 04

Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, close together for softer sides or spaced apart for crispier edges. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden.

Step 05

Serve warm with your choice of butter, honey, jam, or gravy. These biscuits freeze well, so consider making extra.

Notes

  1. White Lily flour is low in protein, resulting in extra tender biscuits. If unavailable, any self-rising flour can be used as a substitute.
