How to Make Sour Cream Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the sour cream (and sugar, if using) until just combined.
5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a couple of times.
6. Roll out the dough to about 1 inch thick and cut into biscuits using a biscuit cutter.
7. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Serve warm.

How to Serve Sour Cream Biscuits

These biscuits are delicious served warm right out of the oven. You can enjoy them plain, with butter, or even with some jam or honey. They also make a great side dish to soups and stews!

How to Store Sour Cream Biscuits

If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep them fresher for a longer time, freeze them in a zip-top bag and reheat them when you’re ready to enjoy.

Tips to Make Sour Cream Biscuits

1. Make sure your butter is really cold. This helps the biscuits stay flaky.
2. Avoid overworking the dough; mix just until combined for the best results.
3. If you want a little more flavor, try adding herbs or cheese to the dough.

Variation

If you want to switch things up, try adding some shredded cheese or chopped herbs to the dough before baking. You can also use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a similar texture and taste.

FAQs

1. Can I use self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, if you use self-rising flour, you can skip the baking powder and salt in the recipe.

2. How can I tell when the biscuits are done?
The biscuits should be golden brown on top and baked through. You can also poke one with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, they are done.

3. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for a few hours before baking. Just roll and cut them when you’re ready to bake!
