Happy Monday! I wasn’t feeling well this morning. I called in sick, took some medicine, and went back to bed. I woke up at 2 PM. Not kidding.
When I’m not feeling well, the only food I want involves carbs and more carbs. Today, my diet has consisted of homemade bread, cookies from last night’s outing, and these biscuits. And I have the Pioneer Woman’s mac & cheese in the oven. Still not kidding.
Now, let’s get onto these biscuits I’ve been telling you about. 
Get ya dry ingredients and stir ‘em all together. I probably should have used a whisk. Ehhh..whatever.
Measure 3/4 c heavy cream. Oh just do it.
Pour cream over dry ingredients and let your puppa sniff it.
Stir until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Don’t overmix yo.
Dump the dough on a floured surface and briefly knead until it’s just smooth.
Pat the dough out to about 3/4” thickness. Cut with drinking glass. Or a biscuit cutter if you don’t have a drinking glass.
Place on greased (or mat or parchment lined) pan. Bake at 350 degrees (on a rack placed in the top third of your oven) for about 15 minutes.
When they are just cool enough to handle, break apart, spread a little butter on that and eat. And be grateful for biscuits. Because they make this world a better place.
Quick & Easy Biscuits
{makes 8 biscuits}
I have subbed 2% milk for the cream in these before. It was a mistake. They were still good, but they weren’t GOOD. Live a little and use cream.
Ingredients
- 2 c all-purpose flour
- 2 t white sugar
- 2 t baking powder
- 1/2 t salt
- 1.5 c heavy cream
How To
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Put an oven rack in the top third of the oven.
- Whisk all the dry ingredients together.
- Using a spoon, stir in the cream and mix just until a rough dough forms.
- Lightly flour the countertop and dump dough onto it. Knead 20-25 times until the dough is smooth.
- Using your hands, pat the dough until about 3/4” thick. Cut out biscuits and place on a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve hot.
What do you like on your biscuits? butter? jam? honey? I’m a butter and/or strawberry jam gal myself.

I might just have to rename these biscuits “5 Ingredient Biscuits” !
This look delicious! I love that you have PW’s mac & cheese in the oven
Wow, this looks easy and delicious!

love biscuits! Lori and I went through a really bad craze of biscuits and eggs in high school. It was a after school snack many many times
I only crave carbs when I’m sick too. When I was in the hospital last year, I begged the nurse for a PB and Jelly sandwich and a bowl of cheerios. I would have given my left arm for this meal at the time.
Hope you feel better soon hun!

I love biscuits. There is nothing better than a hot, flaky biscuit. My favorite biscuit topping is honey and/or butter. I mean, if you are going to use heavy cream, go for the honey and butter!
Feel better! I am also a carb loving girl when sick!
Exactly! No holding back!
Thanks for the recipe! And I love your “just do it” comment. Why mess with a good thing? And no one says you *have to* eat the whole tray if biscuits. I’d MUCH rather have 1 GREAT biscut than 2-3 okay ones
that is such a good point! but what if I DID eat the whole tray?
These look so good! How many does this recipe make? Love, love, LOVE PW’s recipes! Marlboro Man’s Favorite Sandwich is a favorite around here, but I don’t make it often (lots of butter – and we add cheese, too). My comfort food is worse than just carbs – it’s deep-fried carbs. Hush puppies. I’d never seen them dipped in butter until I moved to NC. As far as comfort goes, that’s got to be some of the guiltiest comfort around…. but still yum!

Oops, forgot to list that. It makes 8 biscuits. Thanks for the reminder!
WHAT?? People here dip hushpuppies in butter?? I’ve never seen that!
Oh, you can’t beat a serious biscuit! I love a good biscuit with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey. Thanks, I having uncontrollable biscuit cravings now
Imwaytoobusy´s last [type] ..I’m out of control…
MMh, biscuits. I’m a fan of the butter and jam combo! And in addition to your reply above, I agree. I’ve never seen hushpuppies dipped in butter until I came to North Carolina.. They are all about the honey butter. Crazyyy.
Feel better

My favorite biscuit toppings are fresh strawberries and vanilla ice cream
I had biscuit-based strawberry shortcake at my Grandma’s house many, many times each summer. While I do love her recipe, I’ve been looking for an alternative since her’s calls for shortening. I’m looking forward to trying your recipe!

oooh yum…that does sound good!
feel better soon! i’m the same way — every time i have a cold, we go to a place in town called the green gateau so that i can eat stacks of chocolate-chip-whole-grain pancakes loaded with maple syrup. it helps.

How was the Mac and Cheese? It looks DIVINE!! I want to make it RIGHT NOW but it happens to be 12:30 at night so I can’t
did you use all the good fattening stuff or did you do it a special “I’m Teri and I can make anything low in fat look and taste good” way? I’m glad you liked my dating story… It was crazy!
the Mac & Cheese was awesome! and I followed her recipe exactly. although, i did use 2% milk instead of whole milk since I didn’t have it on hand.
Your biscuits turned out amazing! They look so good..
Oh my goodness. I want to come over and eat your dinner!
Yummmmm!!! I hope you are feeling better!
My favorite biscuit topper is definitely gravy. But second and third are jam and honey. Yummmmmmm!
i forgot about breakfast! that IS the best!
I do the same thing when I’m sick. And I make very simialr biscuits, only I use 1T of sugar and leave out the baking soda and salt. I also stir with a fork (I have no idea if that really makes a difference, but mama said to…). Easiest biscuits ever!
those sound awesome! do you have the recipe on your blog?
I’ve never made biscuits…yum yum!!!
These look great! <3
um, WHAT?
I have not made biscuits in ages and now your pics have me craving one! Yum. I like mine warm with butter. For me, biscuits and English muffins are best with butter that has melted.
Mmm these look so yummy! I am going to try them for sure. I can’t believe you cook when you are sick, when I am sick it’s whatever’s in the fridge or take out! You domestic goddess you!
oh biscuits…love of my culinary life!
I always crave carbs when i’m not feeling well too!
Homemade biscuits are the best. On Sunday after my long run there was a fresh batch at my parents house. Those biscuits were the best post run treat… Although probably not the healthiest but what are ya gunna do
Yum. Butter only for me. Lots of it.
How was the PW mac n cheese? The pictures in the book make me drool, but I’ve never made it.
Samantha @ Food Edu´s last [type] ..Nothing Worth Doing Comes Easy
The PW mac & cheese was great! I definitely recommend it! I used half mild cheddar and half sharp better – delicious!
Wow, those biscuits look delicious! I’m definitely with you in terms of being a butter and strawberry jam guy myself.
