How to Make Sour Cream Biscuits
Ingredients:
- 4 Cups Bisquick
- 1 Cup Sprite
- 1 Cup Sour Cream (We prefer Daisy Sour Cream)
- 1/2 Cup Butter (Melted)
- 4 Cups Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 6 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 Cup Sour Cream
- 1 Cup Sprite or 7-Up
- 1/2 Cup Butter
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- Cut the butter into 6-8 slices and place them in a glass 9×13 baking dish.
- Melt the butter in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. Set the pan aside with the melted butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, measure out 4 cups of Bisquick Mix.
- Add 1 cup of sour cream. It’s easiest to measure out the sour cream and dollop small spoonfuls into the Bisquick to ensure even distribution.
- Pour in 1 cup of Lemon Lime Soda (Sprite works well for flavor).
- With a large spoon, stir the mixture until all ingredients are combined. The dough will be sticky and clumpy, which is perfectly fine.
- Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of flour on a clean surface and place the dough on top.
- Using your hands, pat out the dough to about 1 inch thick. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle some extra flour on the top.
- Use a circle cutter to cut out biscuits, or use a knife to cut into squares; they will all taste great.
- Place the biscuits into the 9×13 pan with melted butter. You can typically get 15-18 biscuits depending on the size.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
How to Serve Sour Cream Biscuits
These biscuits are best served warm. You can enjoy them with butter, honey, or your favorite jam. They also make a great side dish for soups, stews, or main courses. Feel free to be creative and add toppings or serve them with gravy!
How to Store Sour Cream Biscuits
To store leftover biscuits, let them cool completely. Place them in an airtight container and keep them at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage. Just ensure they are fully wrapped in plastic wrap or placed in a freezer bag. They can last in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Tips to Make Sour Cream Biscuits
- Make sure the butter is well melted before adding the biscuits to the pan.
- When patting out the dough, use flour liberally to prevent sticking.
- Experiment with different flavors by adding herbs or cheese to the dough for variety.
Variation
For a sweeter version, try adding a bit of sugar to the dough. You can also mix in some chopped herbs or cheese like cheddar for a savory touch.
FAQs
1. Can I use regular cream instead of sour cream?
Yes, you can use regular cream, but the flavor and texture will be different. Sour cream adds moisture and a tangy flavor.
2. How can I make these biscuits without Bisquick?
You can make your own baking mix by combining flour, baking powder, and salt. Use 4 cups of flour, 6 tsp of baking powder, and 1 tsp of salt to replace the Bisquick.
3. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for a few hours before baking. Just ensure to let it come to room temperature before rolling it out.
