I've been on the hunt for a good easy biscuit recipe for a long time. While I don't know if this one is THE one, it's pretty close. These homemade biscuits bake up very nice and fluffy. Slather them with a big pile of homemade jam and some homemade butter and you are good to go.
Easy Biscuit Recipe
What you need:
- 2 c. flour + a little more
- 1 T. baking powder
- 2 t. sugar
- 1 t. salt
- 1 1/2 c. cream
- 5 T softened butter
Mix together all the ingredients. You may need a little more flour.
Don't knead the dough. Roll out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut it into biscuit shapes with a biscuit cutter or a glass cup.
Place the biscuits on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 425F for about 15 minutes or until slightly brown on the tops.
This recipe is so easy to make and the biscuits bake up light and fluffy. If you have leftover cream from this recipe make sure to freeze it up into Cream Cubes for later use! If using cream isn't your thing you can always try my Buttermilk Biscuits instead.

Thank you! I’m looking for a biscuit recipe to use with my macerated triple berry concoction I just made!
Sounds good! We’ve been eating these with a yummy strawberries preserves I just canned up this week!
This may be a silly question but what kind of cream did you use?? I have been looking for a good biscuit recipe for years.
I just used cream that I skimmed from the top of my milk(because we get it fresh) but any heavy cream will work.
oooooo, looks so yummy (& easy)! Thanks.
THese sound delish! But…could i used nonfat milk??
You might be able to but they won’t have the same flavor.
Mucho gusto!
Are you using wheat flour or are you using some type of gf flour?
I think I used wheat (or white wheat) in these.) They should also work with a gf flour blend.
Look fabulous, cant wait to try these!
Love these!
I made these for Canadian Thanksgiving last week and the family loved them! It was my first time making biscuits from scratch. Thank you for a great recipe.
