Ingredients for sour cream biscuits
- Sour Cream – You will want to use a full fat sour cream for this recipe.
- Self Rising Flour – Make sure it is self rising and not all purpose flour.
- Butter – Use real butter for this recipe, not margarine.
How To Make Sour Cream Biscuits
The complete list of ingredients, quantities, and instructions can be found in the printable recipe card below.
- Step One: Preheat the oven and prep your muffin tin. I just sprayed with cooking spray.
- Step Two: Add your softened butter into the self rising flour. Use a fork and mix to create coarse crumbs. (Photos 1 & 2)
- Step Three: Next, you will stir in the sour cream and mix until combined. It will be a crumble type of dough. (Photos 3 & 4)
- Step Four: Spoon into your muffin tin. I did 6-8 muffins. (Photo 5)
- Step Five: Bake as directed, then serve warm. (Photo 6)
How to Store
Refrigerate – I like to refrigerate any of the biscuits we don’t eat right away. With the sour cream used in the biscuits, I find it stores best in an airtight container in the fridge. These biscuits will store for up to 2-3 days. They are best fresh, as they do dry out.
Reheating – So if you want, go ahead and wrap the biscuits tightly in foil and then warm up in the oven at 325 degrees for 5 minutes or so. Or you can warm up the biscuits in the microwave. This will help add moisture back into the biscuit, and it won’t be a dry biscuit when you bite into it.
Freezer – Go ahead and freeze your biscuits in a freezer container or airtight container. These will freeze for 2-3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight or warm it up straight from frosting.
Tips and Variations To Recipe
- For a sweeter biscuit you can add in a little honey or granulated sugar to the dough.
- I do recommend a full-fat sour cream to help add as much flavor to the biscuits.
- Don’t overmix the batter, to create an extra tender biscuit batter.
- Swap the sour cream with Greek yogurt for more of a tangy flavor.
- Add in some flaky sea salt for added flavor if you want.
- Use a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface, if you want to roll and use a biscuit cutter to cook on a baking sheet.
- Unsalted butter or salted butter does work. I prefer salted as it adds flavor to the biscuits.
- Add some cheddar cheese in the dough for more flavor.
- Add in some fresh herbs to flavor the biscuit dough.
- You can use a pastry blender or cutter to mix up the biscuit dough.
Common Questions Asked
For every cup of self-rising flour, you will do one cup of all purpose flour. Then add 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Toss the flour mixture a couple of times to incorporate the ingredients. Then use the flour the same as you would the self rising.
Flour and a form of fat are the two simple ingredients that are the base of almost all biscuit recipes. Now depending on the type of biscuit, more extra ingredients get added, like buttermilk for buttermilk biscuits, cheesy biscuits, etc.
