Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the sour cream to the mixture and stir gently with a spatula or fork until the dough starts to come together. Avoid over-mixing to keep the biscuits tender.
Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, while folding the dough. The dough should be slightly sticky but hold its shape when scooped.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each biscuit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm.
