These 20-minute cream biscuits are a simple, quick, and delicious homemade biscuit recipe that requires only a few basic ingredients. The biscuits are tender, flaky, and golden brown on top, perfect for breakfast or as a side with any meal. With just heavy cream and pantry staples, you can make fluffy biscuits that come together effortlessly and bake in under 15 minutes.

  • Total Time: 19 minutes
  • Yield: 6 biscuits

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups (260g) all-purpose flour
  • 2½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional, for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the biscuits do not stick during baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined, ensuring a uniform biscuit texture.
  3. Add Cream and Form Dough: Using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, stir in the heavy cream until a shaggy dough forms with no dry flour remaining at the bottom of the bowl.
  4. Knead Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead by folding the dough over itself 5 to 6 times until it comes together into a cohesive ball, adding a little more flour if necessary to prevent sticking.
  5. Shape and Cut Biscuits: Pat the dough out to about ¾-inch thickness. Using a 2 to 3 inch biscuit cutter, cut the dough into rounds. Gather scraps, reshape, and cut to get 1 or 2 additional biscuits.
  6. Prepare for Baking: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Lightly brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish.
  7. Bake Biscuits: Bake in the center rack of the preheated oven for 11 to 14 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and biscuits are cooked through.
  8. Finish and Serve: Remove biscuits from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Brush the tops with the remaining melted butter to add richness and moisture. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Do not over-knead the dough to keep biscuits tender and flaky.
  • Use cold heavy cream for best results.
  • You can add herbs or cheese to the dough for a savory variation.
  • Biscuits are best served fresh but can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
  • Brush with melted butter after baking to keep biscuits moist and flavorful.
