Here’s a simple recipe for Melt-in-Your-Mouth 2-Ingredient Biscuits—perfectly soft and flaky, with just flour and butter!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter
(Optional: a pinch of salt or sugar for taste)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Cut Butter into Flour
In a large bowl, cut the cold butter into the flour using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your hands. Mix until the dough resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. - Form Dough
Gather the dough together gently—it should hold together but remain flaky. Avoid overmixing. - Shape Biscuits
Flatten the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out rounds. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. - Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden. - Serve Warm
Let cool slightly, then enjoy! These are perfect with jam, honey, or just plain butter.
💡 Tips for Extra Flaky Biscuits:
- Keep the butter cold. Small chunks of butter create steam during baking, which makes the biscuits light and flaky.
- Don’t overwork the dough. Handling too much can make them tough.
If you want, I can also give you a version using baking powder to make them rise even fluffier—still 2 ingredients if you count flour and butter plus a tiny extra optional touch. Do you want me to do that?
