Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream
- 1/4 cup Butter, softened
- 1/2 cup Chopped Green Onions
- 1/2 cup Shredded Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the biscuits from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed and there are no lumps.
- Add 1/2 cup of sour cream and 1/4 cup of softened butter to the dry ingredients. Using a fork or pastry cutter, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped green onions and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits from the dough. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
- Gather any leftover dough, pat it down again, and cut out additional biscuits until all the dough is used.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Serve the sour cream onion biscuits warm, and enjoy them as a delicious side dish or snack!
Tips
- Keep your ingredients cold: Cold butter and sour cream help create those signature flaky layers.
- Don't overwork the dough: Mix just until ingredients are combined to ensure tender biscuits.
- Use a sharp biscuit cutter: This helps create clean edges that rise beautifully.
- For extra shine, brush the tops with a beaten egg before baking.
- Experiment with cheese varieties like sharp cheddar or gruyère for different flavor profiles.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and warmth.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven to restore crispness.
