Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups
  • Fork or wooden spoon for mixing
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or cooking spray
  • Wire cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and granulated sugar, whisking together until evenly distributed.
  • Pour the heavy cream into the flour mixture and gently stir with a fork until the ingredients just come together to form a soft, slightly sticky dough. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender 3 ingredient angel biscuits.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 3/4 inch thick.
  • Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 8-10 square biscuits, or use a round biscuit cutter for traditional shapes.
  • Place the cut biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each biscuit.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits have risen beautifully.
  • Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire cooling rack. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

The key to perfect 3 ingredient angel biscuits lies in using cold heavy cream and avoiding overmixing. Self-rising flour is essential for this recipe as it provides the necessary leavening agents. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 2 cups all-purpose flour with 3 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt.
