Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter (2 sticks)
- 2 cups sour cream
- 2 cups self-rising flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking the biscuits evenly and achieving a golden crust.
- Melt the butter: In a large mixing bowl, melt the salted butter completely. This helps in combining the ingredients smoothly.
- Mix sour cream and butter: Whisk the sour cream into the melted butter until the mixture is well combined and smooth, creating a creamy base for the biscuit dough.
- Incorporate the flour: Using a wooden spoon, stir in the self-rising flour gradually until the dough is fully incorporated and no dry flour remains.
- Fill muffin tin: Spoon the dough into a 12-count muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. There’s no need to grease the pan as the butter prevents sticking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 23 minutes, or until the biscuits turn a beautiful golden brown on top.
- Cool: Let the biscuits cool in the pan for about 5 minutes to set before transferring them to a cooling rack to avoid sogginess.
- Serve: Enjoy these warm, tender biscuits on their own or with your favorite butter, jam, or gravy.
Notes
- Use salted butter to add flavor and eliminate the need for extra salt.
- No need to grease the muffin tin because of the butter content in the dough.
- These biscuits are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- You can substitute the self-rising flour by making your own: combine 2 cups all-purpose flour with 3 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt.
- For extra flavor, try adding herbs like chives or garlic powder into the dough before baking.
