i am a pro baker, have been making this recipe for years. i think they are the best,now a few tips. after you have made them a couple of times, try winging it by feel. you want your dough to feel like a wet sponge, the wetter the more tender. these can either be dropped or cut, if you are cutting,use a.p. flour to roll them out, the self will absorb and change you ratio and become tough. you also can add some chedder cheese, better than red lobsters. another trick add a little sugar and cinnamon, brush top with egg wash sprinkle with sugar, these make great short cakes, when filled with fresh fruit. use these as ideas for other things you can add to these great biscuts,bacondebaker

Easy and YUM!!!!!!!!!!!! These biscuits are awesome. I did make a substitution, only for health... I don't use heavy cream, so I used nonfat plain yogurt. These biscuits are just so easy and delicious that I can't get over it. Oh, I didn't knead/roll, I just dropped them and they came up marvelous.

I made these for Easter dinner, and have made them several times since then. I found the original directions to yield a VERY dry dough, so the second time I started with a 1 cup flour to 1 cup cream ration and added more flour until I had a consistency that was not too sticky but not crumbly. I used my stand mixer with the dough hook. I made them both rolled and cut and as drop biscuits, and we thought they were flufflier and more tender as drop biscuits, probably because the dough was handled less and could be a little wetter and looser. I recommend these highly - easy and delicious.

I admit, I was very skeptical when I saw only 2 ingredients. Thankfully, these are delicious! Very tender. I halved the recipe & it took extra liquid. I did not knead them for the 5 mins. listed. I had always read that you shouldn't over work biscuit dough. I only kneaded mine about 5 times. I will definatley be making these again!

Absolutely the best biscuit recipe ever, and I have searching for the longest time. I didn't have a biscuit cutter, so I just used a floured drinking glass. Worked out fantastic. This biscuit recipe will be my one and only. The only thing I will change is to cut in 1/4 cup of butter flavored crisco to the flour before adding the cream. Makes for very tender flaky biscuits that dont dry out the next day.

These biscuits are VERY good. So EZ. Thought I'd be giving a negative review when I was rolling them out. Figured they be tough as hockey pucks but sure surprised me! Yummy! I did add a bit of sugar and they did need more cream. Also only kneaded the dough to get it blended (30 seconds?). Def making again since I doubt there will be any left for breakfast! Thanks for the quick and easy AND tasty recipe >

Wow. These were great. Good taste and good texture. If you like your biscuits sweet, add a tbsp of sugar, but I don't think they need it. Also, mine needed about a tbsp more cream to make it moist enough. Thanks for sharing!

Five stars for easy! I love this recipe. Great results and only two ingredients. Definitely a keeper. Interestingly, I had to add a little flour to my dough to get it stiff enough to use. I guess it depends on your work surface and perhaps the kitchen's humidity. As they say, Your Mileage May Vary.
