Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare an 8 x 8 inch square pan.
- Measure biscuit mix into a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, stir together sour cream and milk.
- Add the sour cream mixture to the biscuit mix and stir to form a soft dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a surface dusted with additional biscuit mix.
- Knead the dough 10 times.
- Shape the dough into the prepared 8 x 8 inch square pan.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the top.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter biscuit square, consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. If you don't have buttermilk biscuit mix, you can make a homemade version using all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. For extra flavor, try adding herbs or cheese to the dough. Ensure the butter is melted but not too hot to avoid cooking the dough when drizzled.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuit squares are perfect as a breakfast item or a side dish for brunch. Serve them warm with butter and honey or alongside savory dishes like scrambled eggs or a hearty soup. They also pair beautifully with Spicy Low Fat Low Calorie Spinach Dip for a delightful appetizer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the biscuit squares?

How do I know when the biscuit squares are done baking?
The biscuit squares are done when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Depending on your oven, baking typically takes around 20-25 minutes at 350°F. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking, which can make them dry.
