Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold
- 0.75 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Milk (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently fold in the sour cream using a spoon or spatula until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Re-roll and cut any scraps as needed. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a slight gap between them.
If desired, brush the tops of the biscuits with a little milk for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm.
