You got it! Here’s another super simple 2-ingredient biscuit recipe—this time using self-rising flour and heavy cream.

2-Ingredient Self-Rising Flour Biscuits

(No Butter, No Milk, Just Mix & Bake!)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups self-rising flour
• 1 ¼ to 1 ½ cups heavy cream

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix – In a bowl, slowly add heavy cream to the self-rising flour, stirring until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more cream.
3. Shape – Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat it to about ¾-inch thick, and cut biscuits with a cutter or cup. (Or just scoop & drop for easy drop biscuits!)
4. Bake – Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.
5. Optional – Brush with melted butter for extra flavor!

Why These Are Amazing:

✔ No butter, no eggs, no fuss!
✔ Super soft & fluffy – The heavy cream provides the fat.
✔ Fast & easy – Just mix, shape, and bake!

Want variations?

• Cheesy Biscuits – Add shredded cheddar.
• Sweet Biscuits – Add 1-2 tablespoons sugar.
• Garlic Butter Biscuits – Brush with garlic butter after baking.

Biscuits should be light, fluffy, and tender on the inside with a slightly crisp, golden-brown exterior. They shouldn't feel dense or heavy.

If your biscuits are too heavy or dense, here’s why:

✅ Overmixing the dough – Stir just until the ingredients come together. Overworking develops gluten, making biscuits tough.
✅ Not enough leavening – Make sure you're using fresh baking powder or baking soda. Old leavening agents won’t create enough rise.
✅ Butter or fat wasn’t cold enough – Cold butter creates steam pockets as it melts, making biscuits airy. If it’s too warm, the biscuits can be flat and dense.
✅ Oven temperature too low – Biscuits need a hot oven (about 425°F) to rise quickly. If the temp is too low, they may not puff up properly.
✅ Dough too wet or thick – If the dough is too dense, the biscuits won’t rise properly. Aim for ¾ to 1 inch thick before baking.

Got it! You want something really different? Here’s a totally new take—a cream biscuit recipe! These use heavy cream instead of butter, making them super soft, rich, and incredibly easy to prepare.

Super Easy 2-Ingredient Cream Biscuits

(No Butter, No Rolling, Just Mix & Bake!)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for a slightly sweet biscuit)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix dry ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using).
3. Add cream – Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently until the dough comes together. If it’s too dry, add a tiny bit more cream.
4. Shape the biscuits – Either drop the dough onto the baking sheet (for a rustic look) or gently pat it out and cut round biscuits.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown on top.
6. Brush with melted butter (optional) for extra flavor.

Why These Are Amazing:

✔ No butter needed! The heavy cream provides all the fat you need.
✔ Super soft & tender – These are more delicate than traditional biscuits.
✔ Foolproof & fast – No rolling, cutting, or butter-cutting required!

Want variations?

• Cheesy Cream Biscuits – Add ½ cup shredded cheddar.
• Sweet Cream Biscuits – Add 2 tablespoons sugar + a sprinkle of cinnamon.
• Herb Biscuits – Mix in dried herbs like rosemary or thyme.

Biscuits should be light, fluffy, and tender on the inside with a slightly crisp, golden-brown exterior. They shouldn't feel dense or heavy.

This is a classic math riddle disguised as a joke. Let’s break it down:

• When you were 22, your brother was half your age → meaning he was 11 (since half of 22 is 11).
• The age gap between you and your brother is 22 - 11 = 11 years.
• Now that you are 44, your brother is still 11 years younger than you, so he is 44 - 11 = 33 years old.

The joke works because some people might mistakenly try to take "half the age" at 44, which doesn't make sense. It’s just simple subtraction! 😆

Yes, but it’s not practical. Peat moss forms naturally over thousands of years in waterlogged, oxygen-poor conditions, mainly in bogs. However, you can create a similar alternative at home using sustainable materials.

DIY Peat Moss Alternative:

Instead of harvesting peat (which is environmentally damaging), try making a substitute with:

• Coconut Coir: A byproduct of coconut husks that retains moisture well.
• Composted Pine Bark: Helps with aeration and structure.
• Leaf Mold: Decomposed leaves that provide a similar spongy texture.
• Compost: Nutrient-rich organic matter to enhance soil quality.

Mixing these in different ratios can replicate the moisture-retaining and soil-lightening benefits of peat moss.
