Description

These Sour Cream Biscuits are tender, fluffy, and easy to make. They are perfect for breakfast or as a side to a hearty meal. The tangy flavor of sour cream adds a delicious twist to traditional biscuits.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cubed)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add Butter: Add the cold cubed butter and cut it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Incorporate Sour Cream: Stir in the sour cream until a soft dough forms. Add milk as needed for consistency.
  5. Knead and Shape: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead gently, then pat or roll to 1/2-inch thickness.
  6. Cut and Bake: Cut into rounds, place on the baking sheet, and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Serve: Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or gravy.

Notes

  • Handle the dough gently for tender biscuits.
  • Enhance flavor with additions like cheese or herbs.
