Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the Bisquick, melted margarine, and sour cream until well combined.
- Spoon the batter into greased muffin tins, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
- Bake at 350°F until the biscuits are firm and golden brown, approximately 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting half the margarine with butter. You can also use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangy twist. To ensure your biscuits rise well, don't overmix the batter; just combine until smooth. If you want a hint of sweetness, add a tablespoon of sugar, especially if you plan to serve them alongside dishes like Peanut Butter Sandwich With Sugar.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are delightful served warm, slathered with butter or jam. They pair beautifully with breakfast dishes like scrambled eggs or alongside a hearty soup. For a fun dessert twist, serve them with Honey Butter or alongside a bowl of Fresh Peach Parfait Pie for a delicious end to your meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you need to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, wrap them in aluminum foil and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for a few hours. However, for best results, bake them fresh. If you want to store baked biscuits, keep them in an airtight container as mentioned earlier.
What can I substitute for Bisquick?
You can make your own baking mix by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This alternative works well in this recipe and is a great option for those who prefer homemade mixes.
Can I add cheese or herbs to the biscuit mix?
Absolutely! Adding shredded cheese or herbs like rosemary or thyme can enhance the flavor of your biscuits. Incorporate about 1 cup of shredded cheese or 2 tablespoons of fresh herbs into the batter for a savory twist.
