Ingredients
Instructions

- Spoon or scoop the batter into mini-muffin pans without greasing the tins.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using whipped cream instead of sour cream. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour and add 1 tablespoon of baking powder. Ensure your oleo is fully melted for even mixing. These biscuits can also be flavored with herbs or cheese for a savory twist, making them a versatile addition to your meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these biscuits warm as a delightful breakfast treat or alongside soups and salads for lunch. They pair beautifully with Uncle George'S Grilled Chicken Sauce or can be enjoyed with jam and butter for a sweet touch. These biscuits also make a great addition to a brunch spread, alongside dishes like Dorothy'S Eggs.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply pop them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through and crispy.
