Here’s a super simple recipe for melt-in-your-mouth 2-ingredient biscuits—light, buttery, and incredibly easy:
Ingredients
- 1 cup self-raising flour (or all-purpose flour + 1 tsp baking powder)
- 1/2 cup butter (unsalted, cold)
Optional: pinch of salt or sugar for flavor
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
- Cut the cold butter into small cubes.
- In a mixing bowl, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Bring the mixture together into a soft dough. If it’s too dry, add a teaspoon of cold water.
- Roll out the dough to about 1 cm thickness.
- Cut into your desired shapes (rounds, squares, or use cookie cutters).
- Place on a lined baking tray and bake for 12–15 minutes or until lightly golden at the edges.
- Let cool slightly—these biscuits will melt in your mouth!
💡 Tips for Extra Soft Biscuits
- Don’t overwork the dough; gentle handling keeps them tender.
- Use cold butter for flakier, lighter texture.
- Dust with powdered sugar after baking for a sweet touch.
If you want, I can also give you a microwave version that takes only 5 minutes for instant melt-in-your-mouth biscuits. It’s almost magical!
