Ingredients

2 cups Self-rising flour (plus extra for dusting)
16 oz. Sour cream
1/2 cup Salted butter (room temperature)
Shortening (for greasing the pan)

Instructions

Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 500°F. This high heat is key to getting that perfect golden-brown crust. Grease a baking pan thoroughly with shortening.
Cut in Butter: In a large bowl, mix the self-rising flour and room-temperature butter. Use a blending fork or pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour until the pieces are about the size of small peas.
Add Sour Cream: Stir in the sour cream. Mix until all the flour is fully incorporated and a soft dough forms.
Knead & Fold: Lightly dust your countertop with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Sprinkle a little more flour on top of the dough. Gently knead and fold the dough 4 to 7 times. Be careful not to overwork it; you just want it to come together smoothly.
Shape & Cut: Pat the dough down until it is about 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out your rounds.
Bake: Arrange the biscuits in the greased pan, placing them close together so they "climb" each other and stay moist. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the tops are a beautiful golden brown.

Notes

Pro Tip: Placing them close together in the pan helps them rise higher and keeps the edges soft!

Why you'll love them: These have the same delicious "bite" as a buttermilk biscuit but with an even richer texture thanks to the sour cream and butter combo. Enjoy!
