🧈🥣 Biscuits from the Heart

Only 3 ingredients — a thousand memories.


❤️ INTRODUCTION

There are recipes that require skill…
…and there are recipes that just need love.

“Biscuits from the Heart” fall into the second category. They’re soft, buttery, tender, and impossibly easy — the kind of biscuit that makes the whole kitchen smell like home.

They’re made with only three simple ingredients, but taste like you’ve been baking all day — because what they lack in complexity, they make up for in comfort, tradition, and soul.

Whether it’s a Saturday morning, a rainy day, or dinner with the ones you love, these biscuits don’t just fill a plate…
They fill a heart.


🛒 INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or buttermilk for a tangy twist)
  • ¼ cup salted butter, melted (plus more for brushing)

💡 Optional add-ins (for the adventurous):

  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (for slight sweetness)
  • A pinch of garlic powder or black pepper (for savory biscuits)
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (because… cheese)

👩‍🍳 INSTRUCTIONS

🔄 Step 1: Mix with Love

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour and cream. Stir gently until just combined. The dough will be shaggy — that’s perfect.
  3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead just 4–5 times. Do not overwork!

🥄 Step 2: Shape the Biscuits

  1. Gently pat the dough to about ¾-inch thickness.
  2. Use a biscuit cutter, glass, or even your hands to cut out biscuits.
  3. Place them close together on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a greased cast iron skillet for softer edges.

🔥 Step 3: Bake to Golden Glory

  1. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are just golden.
  2. As soon as they come out, brush the tops with melted butter for that irresistible shine and softness.

💡 Method Notes

  • Self-rising flour already contains baking powder and salt — it’s the secret weapon here.
  • Heavy cream replaces butter and milk, giving richness and fat all in one.
  • The minimal kneading keeps them tender. Think rustic, not perfect.

📚 HISTORY — HUMBLE & HOMEMADE

The Southern biscuit has deep roots in American and British baking, emerging as a staple in the 19th century when soft wheat flour became accessible in the South.

They became a symbol of resourceful cooking — how to make something hearty from just a few ingredients. And they’ve remained beloved because of how they make you feel: warm, nourished, cared for.

They’ve been passed from grandmothers to grandbabies, scribbled on index cards, and now, shared on screens — but the love behind them never changes.


🧩 FORMATION — WHY THEY WORK

Each ingredient plays a role:

  • Flour builds the structure
  • Cream brings moisture and fat
  • Butter adds flavor and golden, soft tops

There’s no leavening to worry about. No eggs. No fuss.
Just balance, texture, and buttery magic in every fluffy layer.


💞 FOR THE LOVERS

Make these for:

  • A slow Sunday morning with music and coffee
  • Someone who’s having a hard week
  • Your partner when words aren’t enough
  • Yourself, because you deserve warm bread from your own hands

Want to make them even more special?
💡 Serve warm with:

  • Honey butter
  • Jam or preserves
  • Fried chicken
  • Creamy sausage gravy
  • Or just more melted butter (because… yes)

Better yet — make them together. Let someone stir while you knead. Let the oven timer be background music to conversation.

Because biscuits, when made with love, become more than just food.
They become a moment.


✨ CONCLUSION

“Biscuits from the Heart” are about more than baking.

They’re about slowing down, connecting, and sharing — with family, with tradition, and with yourself.

Simple. Soulful. Satisfying.

So the next time you need to feel grounded, warm, and a little nostalgic —
Open the flour.
Pour the cream.
And bake your heart into every bite.

Because sometimes the best things come in threes.
