Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups White Lily self-rising flour
- 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Coarsely ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Melted butter (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the White Lily self-rising flour and coarsely ground black pepper.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the sour cream and gently mix until the dough comes together. Add the whole milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed, to help bind the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Use a 2 to 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure they rise evenly. Gather the scraps, re-pat, and cut out additional biscuits.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, slightly touching each other for soft edges or spaced apart for crispier edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.
Optional: Brush the hot biscuits with melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven for extra flavor.
Serve warm with butter, jam, or your choice of savory toppings.
