These golden, tender biscuits are wonderfully simple and perfect for a cozy Sunday breakfast. With just 3 basic ingredients, you can have warm homemade biscuits with a lightly crisp exterior and soft, fluffy center.
Ingredients
2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or cast-iron skillet.
Add the self-rising flour to a large mixing bowl.
Gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Melt the butter and gently fold it into the dough.
Divide the dough into about 8 portions and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each biscuit.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are beautifully golden brown.
Brush the hot biscuits with a little extra melted butter if desired.
Serve warm with butter, honey, jam, or your favorite gravy.
Tips for Soft, Fluffy Biscuits
Don’t overwork the dough—mix just until the ingredients come together.
Keep the dough soft rather than adding too much flour.
For extra golden tops, brush the biscuits with melted butter before baking.
Serve them fresh from the oven for the best texture.
Serving Ideas
These biscuits are delicious alongside scrambled eggs, sausage gravy, bacon, or a simple cup of coffee. They also make a wonderful base for breakfast sandwiches.
A simple recipe, a warm oven, and a little butter—that’s all you need for homemade biscuits that taste like they came straight from Grandma’s kitchen.
