Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¾ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Prep: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Then, spray an 8x8 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Dough: In a large size bowl, crack the egg and beat with a fork. Add in the sour cream and sugar, whisk to combine. Next, grate the cold butter into the mixing bowl, stir just enough to mix. 
  • Then, add in the remaining dry ingredients, the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir just until mixed, the dough will be very sticky.
  • Shape biscuits: Lightly flour a countertop and use a rubber scraper to scrape the dough from the bowl onto the counter. Sprinkle a little flour on top and lightly knead a few times. Shape it into a mound and pat dough out to 1" thickness.
  • Spray a biscuit cutter with non-stick spray. If you don't have a cutter, you can use the open end of a cup, canning jar rings or simply cut them with a knife and form balls. Cut the dough to form 9 biscuits. If you have leftover dough, divide it up, pat each piece flat and place it on the underside of each of the 9 biscuits.
  • Bake: Place the biscuits in the prepared greased pan with the sides of the biscuits almost or barely touching. Pat the tops down slightly so that they are smooth on top. Bake the biscuits in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Enjoy the biscuits warm, topped butter or better yet, with our Strawberry Freezer Jam! Serve and enjoy!
