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
How to make easy biscuits:
Mix together all the ingredients. You may need to add a little more flour.
One of the reasons I love this easy recipe is that there is no need to knead the dough. Just roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick.
Cut the dough into biscuit shapes with a biscuit cutter. If you don’t have a biscuit cutter, you can use a glass cup or even a small bowl depending on the size you’d like.
Place the cut biscuits on a greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 425F for about 15 minutes or until slightly brown on the tops.

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. 🙂
I love buttermilk biscuits…
Coming from Europe I just have a quick question to the measurements: is ‘c’ a cup and what is the difference between ‘T’ and ‘t’? Thank you for the help 🙂
C = cup and T = tablespoon and t = teaspoon
Thank you – I will try my luck with it 🙂
Could heady whipping cream be a substitute for fresh milk cream?
Yes.
I made these for dinner last night, they were so good! I think they taste like the ones from KFC but much better and better for you! I am in charge of biscuits for Thanksgiving so I think I will be making these. Thanks for the recipe!
I used olive oil instead of butter and they were still terrific.
What is gf flour? Thx
Gluten Free Flour
Looks so good! I’ll have to try it.
The recipe I’ve always used is 2 cups Flour, 1Tbsp Baking Powder, 1tsp Salt, 1/4 cup oil, 3/4 cup water. Mine have always turned out a little dry and crumbly though so I think the cream and butter would work much better. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for linking up at Motivation Monday! I haven’t had biscuits in ages! These look so tender.
I’m with you, I am always on the hunt for good homemade biscuits! Can’t wait to try these! Thanks for linking up to Motivation Monday!
Oh thsese look so good. It reminds me of the biscuits my Mom used to make. I don’t think she used sugar but it sounds like a good additoin.
Congratulations! Your recipe was featured at Motivation Monday this week!
Those look wonderful and I’m always looking for a great gluten-free biscuit recipe … especially for things like chicken or sausage gravy. Are these biscuits sweet? And if so, do you thing it would make much difference to leave the sugar out? Thanks! 🙂
They are not sweet so I’m pretty sure you could leave the sugar out if you want to 🙂
Oh my! This looks sooo yummy and just perfect to pair with oh, just about anything. It’s comfort food at its best and cream biscuits are what this girl is salivating over right now 😉
These are absolutely the best biscuits I have ever made, and I have made at least a hundred batches of other kinds!
I think on your printable recipe it should read “1 TBS. of baking powder” not 1 baking powder.
Thanks for this recipe, it’s become a family staple!
Help! My biscuits are flat. But they are so delicious
