Sweet Cream Biscuits are a flaky biscuit made with heavy cream! This is the BEST biscuit you’ll ever make – completely from scratch and very easy to make. Using simple ingredients like flour, butter, baking powder, sugar and cream you’ll be busting out tender biscuits for Sunday brunch every weekend!

My favorite way to enjoy these biscuits is to make my famous strawberry shortcake (I have the easiest tip for the strawberries that makes strawberry shortcake the best summer dessert!) or with a little swipe of freezer jam on a lazy weekend morning.

Why This Recipe Won’t Fail

Cream Biscuits are the perfect biscuit, especially if you’re not used to making biscuits from scratch. They’ve got a sugary, crunchy outside and a soft and fluffy inside.

The heavy cream makes the difference! The fat from heavy cream makes these biscuits soft and moist because the water doesn’t evaporate out as quickly as milk.

Unsalted Butter is king!! During baking, the water in the butter evaporates into steam, this steam leaves behind air pockets that contribute to the craveable flaky texture of a biscuit! 

Ingredients in Southern Sweet Cream Biscuits

• Heavy Whipping Cream: This is one of the most important ingredients in a sweet cream biscuit. It adds liquid to combine the dry ingredients AND adds fat required for a tender and moist biscuit.
• Flour: I always use all purpose flour because it’s simple and has the correct protein for a flaky biscuit. See below for self rising substitute.
• Sugar: We are making sweet biscuits so a hint of sweet is essential. I especially love the crunchy texture on top with the sanding or turbinado sugar.
• Baking Powder: Give those babies height!
• Butter: Bringing the fat and the chemistry behind flaky layers.
• Egg: Adds a little richness so the biscuits bake up soft and tender.
• Salt: Just enough to balance the sweetness and bring out the flavor.
• Egg White: Brushed on top for that pretty golden shine.
• Sanding Sugar: The sparkling, sweet crunch that makes them feel extra special.

How to Make Sweet Cream Biscuits

1. Prep: Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whisk: Whisk together the dry ingredients.
3. Toss: Toss the butter in the dry ingredient until well coated. Use a pastry cutter to mix in the butter.
4. Cream: Beat the egg into the heavy cream and stir into the dry ingredients until combined. Mixture will be wet.
5. Fold and Press: Turn the dough out onto a floured

1. Boil: Add the chicken stock and 1/3 cup of the milk in a large saucepan over medium heat and bring it to a boil.
