These simple, 4-ingredient biscuits are legendary among my friends and family. How can a recipe with only four ingredients be so good? It's a mystery of nature that needs to be experienced to be understood. As for the story behind the name, my friend Scott made these biscuits on a whim, thinking they could be nowhere as good as promised. On his first bite he exclaimed aloud, "Are you fucking kidding me? Biscuit?!" They were that good.

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. It needs to be good and hot.
Combine dry ingredients with the one cup cream, and if the dough is still too dry to mix together, as is always the case for me, keep adding the rest of the cream, a bit at a time, until it is moist enough to stick together and knead. I used my stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, but it’s not necessary and if you do it by hand that’s one less pot to wash.
Knead the dough for about five minutes and then roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness on a floured surface.
Cut the biscuits out using a biscuit cutter, cookie cutter, or rim of a drinking glass. Keep re-rolling and cutting out the dough until there’s nothing left. My last biscuit always looks a bit lumpy and, uh, irregular, but I keep to the dimensions as best as I can and it still tastes delicious.
Grease baking tray with oil spray or line with parchment paper and fill with biscuits. Bake your pale yellow disks for about ten minutes. Force yourself to wait at least three minutes for them to cool, and try not to swear with pleasure.
