Description

These Sour Cream Biscuits are a classic Southern staple, offering a perfect balance of tangy richness and tender crumb. Unlike standard buttermilk biscuits, the addition of sour cream creates a uniquely soft texture with a subtle, sophisticated flavor profile. They are incredibly easy to prepare, requiring just a handful of pantry staples like flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Ideal for breakfast alongside butter and jam, or as a savory side dish for soup and stew, these biscuits bring a comforting, homemade quality to any meal. Their golden-brown tops and pillowy interiors make them a crowd-pleaser that is sure to disappear quickly from your table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450&# 194;°F (230ðC).
  2. Sift flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together into a large mixing bowl to ensure even distribution of leaveners.
  3. Add sour cream to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. If the dough is too stiff, add 1 teaspoon of sweet milk or water to achieve a manageable consistency.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  6. Knead the dough lightly, just until it comes together smoothly.
  7. Pat or roll the dough into a sheet approximately 1/2 inch thick.
  8. Cut out biscuits using a floured biscuit cutter or glass.
  9. Place biscuits in a well-oiled baking pan.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until golden brown.

Note

For best results, handle the dough as little as possible to keep the biscuits tender and flaky.

Serve warm with butter, honey, or jam. These biscuits pair wonderfully with hearty soups or stews.

If you prefer a taller biscuit, press the dough out slightly thinner before cutting.

Ensure your oven is fully preheated to 450ðF before baking for optimal rise.
