Melt-in-Your-Mouth 2-Ingredient Biscuits

Cut the biscuits.

1. 1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Allowing the oven to fully reach this temperature ensures strong, immediate lift when the biscuits go in. The high heat encourages the exterior to set quickly while keeping the interior soft and tender.
   2. Mix the dough. In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and heavy cream. Stir slowly and gently until the mixture just comes together. Avoid vigorous mixing; overworking the dough can develop gluten, making the biscuits tough rather than fluffy. The dough should look slightly shaggy but cohesive, with no large dry patches of flour.
   3. Shape the dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking. Pat it gently into a round approximately ¾ inch thick. Use light pressure to keep the dough soft—pressing too firmly can compress the layers that help create the biscuit’s airy texture.
