If you are me who had her fair share of fails when making biscuits, you might think that this no-fail Homemade Sour Cream Biscuits will only add to your frustrations. Believe me when I say that this recipe will change everything! Tender bites, perfect flavour and texture, these babies are the real deal!
Ingredients
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon + 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups sour cream (I would not suggest subbing light)
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
4 tablespoons soft butter
How to Make Tender Homemade Sour Cream Biscuits
Step 1: Place the first 4 ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda) in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk well until mixed.
Step 2: On top, add spoonfuls of sour cream followed by oil. Mix well using a spoon until moistened.
Step 3: Using your hands, turn the dough to get the dry stuff on the bottom of the bowl. Then, knead the dough on a floured surface about 8 times.
Step 4: Roll the dough to around an 8-inch circle and just a few passes using a floured rolling pin. Using a biscuit cutter or a floured glass, cut out 6 biscuits from the dough. And another 2 from the last of the dough.
Step 5: Transfer the biscuits to a cookie sheet sprayed with butter-flavoured pam.
Step 6: On top, add tiny pats of butter. Carefully spread the butter (if soft) to not deflate the biscuits.
Step 7: Place in a 425 degrees preheated oven. Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes until the tops are golden brown. The cooking time may vary depending on the oven.
Step 8: When done, remove the biscuits from the oven and add butter on top of the biscuits. Enjoy warm with extra butter or homemade jam or honey.
