Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using cold butter instead of melted. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour and add 1 tablespoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt. These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh, but you can also experiment by adding herbs or cheese for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These butter biscuits are delightful served warm with a pat of butter or your favorite jam. They pair beautifully with Honey Bun Coffee Cake for a sweet brunch spread. For a more savory option, serve alongside Ilah'S Casserole or with soups and salads for a comforting meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer and transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the dough before baking?
Yes, you can freeze the biscuit dough. Portion it into balls and freeze them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.
What can I use instead of sour cream?
Greek yogurt is a great substitute for sour cream in this recipe. It will provide a similar tangy flavor and maintain moisture. You can also use buttermilk or plain yogurt if you have those on hand.
How can I make these biscuits sweeter?
To add sweetness, you can mix in a tablespoon of sugar into the dough. Additionally, serving the biscuits with a drizzle of honey or a sweet fruit spread can enhance the sweetness without altering the recipe significantly.
