Soft, fluffy, and impossibly easy to make, these Easy Cream Drop Biscuits are the perfect solution for quick homemade bread on any occasion. With just five simple pantry ingredients—flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and heavy cream—this recipe comes together in under 30 minutes from start to finish. There's no need for kneading or rolling; simply mix up the dough and drop spoonfuls onto a baking sheet for effortless, golden-brown biscuits with a tender crumb. Perfect as a side dish for dinner, a base for strawberry shortcake, or a morning treat with butter and honey, these versatile biscuits are as delicious as they are foolproof.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
Pour the heavy cream into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a large spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm with butter, jam, or honey, or alongside your favorite meal. Enjoy!
