3-Ingredient Grandma’s Drop Biscuits

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

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or cast-iron skillet.
  2. Add the self-rising flour to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Melt the butter and gently fold it into the dough.
  5. Divide the dough into about 8 portions and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each biscuit.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are beautifully golden brown.
  7. Brush the hot biscuits with a little extra melted butter if desired.
  8. 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.
