Sour Cream Biscuits: Flaky, Buttery Perfection! ๐Ÿงˆ๐Ÿฅ›✨


 

1. Prep & Mix Dry Ingredients

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.

  • In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

2. Cut in the Butter

  • Add cold butter cubes to the flour. Use a pastry cutter (or fingers) to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.

3. Add Wet Ingredients

  • Stir in sour cream and milk just until a shaggy dough forms (don’t overmix!).

4. Shape & Cut

  • Turn dough onto a floured surface. Gently pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.

  • Fold dough over itself 3 times (for flaky layers!), then pat down again.

  • Use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter (or glass) to cut out biscuits. Press straight down—no twisting!

5. Bake to Golden Perfection

  • Place biscuits on the sheet, barely touching for soft sides.

  • Bake 12-15 minutes until puffed and golden.

  • Brush with melted honey butter right after baking (optional but heavenly!).


Pro Tips for the Best Biscuits

✨ Keep Everything Cold – Cold butter + cold sour cream = flakier layers.
✨ Don’t Overwork the Dough – Tough biscuits are the enemy!
✨ No Twisting When Cutting – It seals the edges and prevents rise.
