Soft, fluffy homemade biscuits using only 3 ingredients that I’m sure you already have in your kitchen! These truly are The World’s Easiest Biscuits!

the world s easiest sour cream biscuits only 3 ingredients

One day, rather one evening, I had a surplus supply of eggs and apples. So naturally that meant breakfast time, only one problem, I was out of butter (doesn’t happen that often!) and crisco for Buttermilk Biscuits. As luck would have it I had just read an e-mail from one of my favorite bloggers and I remembered the biscuit recipe only had 3 ingredients. Flour, sour cream and milk, no butter needed!! So I went to work making them and they truly are the world’s easiest biscuits and pretty fail proof too!

These would be especially fun for the little ones since there’s no butter or Crisco that needs mixed in. Easy peasy biscuits! If you see what looks like melted butter on the tops, that’s actually melted ghee. Gotta improvise sometimes 😉

If you’re looking for some good fried apples, I got you covered. My Fried Apples recipe is one of the kids most requested breakfast sides. I’m working on updating the pictures since I took the original ones outside in bright sunlight! What can I say, when I knew better, I did better. Not sure who that quote is from, but it’s a good one.

Slather your biscuit with butter and jelly, or just butter, either way is great!

  To make your own gluten free self-raising flour, you can add 1 1/2 teaspoons of gluten free baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt for every cup of gluten free flour. You can pre-mix a large quantity and store in the cupboard in an airtight container. Haven't tried this yet, but should work.

I can beat this. Use heavy cream and self-rising flour. 2 ingredients. We use this same heavy cream for our coffee, so I use cream. And I make 4 biscuits, just enough biscuit for 2 adults. No waste. NOTE: The heavy cream has enough butter content in it. However, I always have sour cream and look forward to making your biscuits using your recipe!

  For making the Two Ingredient Biscuits being discussed in this thread, combine 2/3 cup self-rising flour and 1/2 cup heavy cream in order to make 4 biscuits.
  
  You can make your own self-rising flour to have on hand by combining:
  1 cup all-purpose flour
  1 ½ tsp baking powder
  ¼ tsp salt

  I make them using equal amounts of self-rising flour and plain Greek yogurt (1 cup to 1 cup or 2 to 2). Bake at 350 for about 25-30 minutes. Just mix and roll 8 equal size balls, place in Pam sprayed round cake pan. Easy and not offensive to the lactose intolerant.

  Dear people of the biscuit clan....
  For each biscuit I make, I use a HEAPING tablespoon of self-rising flour. So, if I want my normal 4 biscuits, I use a heaping tablespoon of self rising flour. And I just add cream until I get flour that will start sticking together....but not too sticky. A hot oven is required. I use 438 degrees. And honestly, I notice if I add a little tiny bit of milk at the end---the biscuits take on a more crunchy exterior.
