There’s nothing quite like a warm, homemade biscuit, and these easy Cream Biscuits make it incredibly simple. Made with just four ingredients, they come together quickly and don’t require the extra steps of a traditional biscuit recipe. These Cream Biscuits are a simple, four-ingredient recipe that gives a batch of soft, tender biscuits with golden, slightly crisp edges and a light, flaky center. This recipe uses heavy cream as both the fat and liquid instead of butter and buttermilk found in traditional biscuit recipes. There’s no need to cut cold butter into the flour or fuss with layers of dough, making it quick without losing any of the classic buttery taste you love.

- Baking Powder

Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat oven to 425° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- In a large bowl add flour, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine.
- Pour in heavy cream and mix until a crumbly dough begins to form then transfer to a floured parchment-lined surface or countertop and use your hands to knead the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
- To ensure flaky biscuits, this dough doesn't need much kneading Fold the dough over onto itself pressing into a rectangle again, about 4-5 times until smooth no longer crumbly. Then use your fingers to spread the dough out and use a 2.5 inch circular cookie cutter to cut the biscuits. Use the cutter to cut directly down and up, making sure not to twist the cutter as this can prevent them from rising. Press the leftover dough scraps together and cut out the remaining biscuits.
- Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 - 18 minutes, until lightly golden.
- Transfer to a baking rack to cool for a few minutes and enjoy with butter or your favorite jam!
