Description

These 3-ingredient sour cream biscuits are incredibly simple, quick to prepare, and yield soft, buttery biscuits with a golden top and crisp edges. Perfect for any meal, from breakfast to dinner.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease 6 to 8 cups of a standard muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the softened butter and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the self-rising flour and stir until a thick, sticky dough forms.
  4. Spoon the dough evenly into the prepared muffin cups without smoothing the tops.
  5. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
  6. Let the biscuits cool slightly and serve warm with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • Use cold butter for a flakier biscuit texture.
  • Fold in cheese or herbs for savory variations.
  • Add a tablespoon of sugar for a sweeter biscuit.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature.
  • Freeze baked biscuits for up to 2 months for easy reheating.
