If you have ever dreaded making a biscuit at home, dread no more. This recipe is unassuming, stress-free and fast. There is no “cutting in” butter into the dry ingredients, no fussing about whether the butter is cold enough, no conceivable biscuit disaster.

Seriously, this recipe is ridiculously easy and delicious- Moist, Fluffy, and light.
You can even make it into a breakfast sandwich too! While the biscuits are baking fry egg , bacon or sausage and voila! a breakfast sandwich. Get a bigger size of a plate than I did for the eggs.
I don’t know what I was thinking about. Was in such a hurry to gobble it up.Ans sure did eat about 4 of these. No shame.
You’ve got to five it a try ! It only contains five ingredients; flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic salt and cream. Feel free to use salt instead . Be sure to let it cool down before cutting it in half

They really are delicious.
Margie says
Hello I cut recipe in half and used evaporated canned milk 1% lowfat and the biscuits came out heavy and look nothing like yours, more like the consistency of italian bread. Should I have still used the same amount of baking powder also? Can you tell me how I can still use evaporated milk and get it right?
ImmaculateBites says
Hi Margie, This recipe would not work with evaporated milk only. It doesn’t have enough fat in it . You have to use cream .
Angel says
Hie do i use plain flour or self raising flour, alao i have double cream, will that do?
ImmaculateBites says
If you use self rising flour you do not need to add salt or baking powder. If you use plain flour then make as instructed . Double cream will work as well.
YAJE says
I tried this recipe today as soon as I saw on Facebook. Super easy and quick. I baked mine in the toaster oven and the kids devoured them. The recipe is a keeper!!
staci says
Dear Imma, I found your site when looking for recipe to use up an overripe plaintain! I scrolled through your recipes and thought “OMG -I’ve hit the mother lode!” Immediately bookmarked! Thank you! Can’t wait to try the Ashanti Chicken and the One Pot Jerk Chicken and Rice!
Tip – for those with a Trader Joe’s nearby, try their Shelf Stable Grade A Whipping Cream (UHT). It’s great for making biscuits and scones! I keep 3 on hand with one in the fridge for whipping!
ImmaculateBites says
Hi Staci! You are the Sweetest! So happy to have you here. You’ve picked two of my favorites to start with… You are going to love it!
Thanks for the tip. Am definitely picking up a few of the shelf stable Whipping Cream. They are definitely going to come in handy. YOU ROCK GIRL!!!
Feyisayo says
Hello Imma, please can I use oat flour for the biscuits?
ImmaculateBites says
Hi Feyisayo! I don’t think oat flour would be a good substitute here. But you can give it a try and let me know how it works out for you. Thanks
Kebong Mavis says
thanks Imma for the lovely biscuits
ImmaculateBites says
Glad it worked out well.
ebere says
can one use milk instead of the cream?. can i add butter too?
ImmaculateBites says
Yes, you can. Use melted butter(1/3 cup) and 2/3 cup milk. You might have to double the measurements to get 1 1/2 cup to replace cream.
bunmi says
can i use milk instead of cream, realy want tu try it but dnt hv heavy or whipping cream at hand
ImmaculateBites says
Milk would not yield the same results, try using melted butter(1/3 cup) and 2/3 cup milk. You might have to double the measurements to get 1 1/2 cup to replace cream.
Vic says
Apart from oven, is there any other thing we can use to bake d biscuit like microwave or stove bcos of those of us without an oven? And where can I get the cream to buy?
ImmaculateBites says
Sorry!I have never tried making this without an oven. Cream are sold in most major supermarkets, depending on your location.
Modene Flossired says
To Vic above you can cook on top of a wood stove in a Dutch oven or in a heavy cast iron skillet with a lid on it to keep heat in it. You’d have to adjust your heat to low medium and you’ll have to flip the biscuits to insure even cooking and browning on both sides. But it can be done if you are a seasoned cook. I’ve cooked biscuits this “old” way lots of times on a wood stove or grill and they’ve came out perfect.
ImmaculateBites says
Thanks for sharing .
Susan says
Loved the flavor! My garlic salt also has parsley though I’m not sure that made much of a difference. I tried using them for breakfast sandwiches (cheese + bacon + egg) but they fell apart a bit too much. Ideas for fixing that? The dough seemed wet enough when cutting and shaping.
ImmaculateBites says
Susan,lightly dust dough and biscuit cutter with flour before cutting and then shake off excess flour . Do not add extra flour to the dough.Let your biscuit rest before making a sandwich.
Anna says
Can you omit the garlic or do you have to use it
Africanbites says
Anna, you can omit the garlic. Just use salt instead. Thanks for stopping by!
Kelsey says
I made the Biscuit today and it came out good. Thanks a lot.
Africanbites says
Thanks kelsey, for always reporting back!
Kelsey says
Ok will try it and let you know. Thanks
Kelsey says
Hi There,
What kind of cream did you use for the biscuit. Is it whip cream? because I bought but 10% half and half cream. Could you please specify the kind of cream? Thanks a lot
Africanbites says
You can use heavy cream or whipping cream.
