We all, or most of us, are handicapped for space and these require about a few ingredients as possible.
Biscuits
1 cup self rising flour
1/2 cup whipping cream
Mix, roll out, bake 375 12-15 minutes.
I've used a couple of different brands of SR flour and with the exception of King Arthur, I find I need a little sugar to eliminate the flour taste in these biscuits.
I like king Arthur because its from soft wheat and it uses a non-aluminum baking powder.
We also use the cream to make small amounts of milk. combining cream and non-fat dry to achieve your level of fat in milk is easy and for those that don't require much, it economical.
If you check the dates on cream you'll find its long, very long compared to fresh milk.

Has anyone ever tried making biscuits with canned evaporated milk? If I was a decent biscuit maker, I'd giver 'er a try. Alas, I am not. I wouldn't know what to make the proportions! And evaporated milk would have an even longer shelf life...just a thought...

If you're after as few ingredients as possible what about using Bisquick and water? I prefer with milk myself and Bisquick can be used to make many one dish meals that are reasonably good.

Yes, I have used evaporated milk and they are fine. We always have a few cans on hand. Cooked pudding and mac'n cheese is wonderful with EM.

So, no butter or shortening is needed?

I don't make homemade biscuits. I used Mary B's Tea Biscuits. They are in the freezer section and they taste great. And they bake really well in the camper oven or in a toaster oven. And there isn't much clean up  .

I could not deal without bisquick (or cheap brand). I use it for almost every meal in one way or another. Biscuits, pancakes, breading, etc. Mix biscuit mix and swirl jam in it, cover with sugar, cinnamon mix and bake for a great and simple and cheap coffee cake.
So much easier than having several boxes or sacks of assorted things.

We buy the Great Value frozen buttermilk biscuits from WalMart/Sam's Club! They're beautiful every time in our convection oven!

I just posted this information on another thread, but it's worth repeating.
When at home, I always make a big batch of biscuits up. My DH is from the south and loves biscuits. I freeze what is left over and pull one or two of them out at a time and re-heat them in the microwave. Great to take along camping, fresh biscuits without the mess of making them!
I also like to add a little yeast to my biscuits and call them Angel biscuits. Just dissolve about a tsp of yeast in about a 1/4 cup of warm water. Let that sit for 5 minutes and then just add it to your biscuit dough, as you are adding the wet ingredients.

I just feel that I can do more with flour, even self rising. As for the cream, given the long shelf life and other options it provides, we find it a better option.
Cream has a high fat content, and thats why no shortening or oil is needed.
If you empty your refrigerator after every trip and only add the things you'll need in the near future space is probably not a problem. We spend about 90% of the year in ours, and never empty the frig, so space is at a premium for us.
