Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
- 0.75 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Optional: melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
Stir in the sour cream using a spatula or wooden spoon. The mixture will be slightly dry at this stage.
Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, and gently mix just until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep your biscuits tender.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Using a biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter (approximately 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather scraps and re-roll as needed, but handle the dough minimally.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden on top.
Optional: Brush the tops of the hot biscuits with melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven for added flavor and shine.
Let the biscuits cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite toppings!
