Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 1/2 sticks melted margarine
  • 8 oz. sour cream

Instructions

  1. Spoon the batter into greased muffin tins.
  2. Bake at 400°F for approximately 20 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions

For even fluffier biscuits, consider using buttermilk instead of sour cream. If you don't have self-rising flour, combine all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. Be careful not to overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay. If you want to add a twist, try incorporating shredded cheese or herbs into the mix for a savory flavor.

Serving Suggestions

These biscuits are perfect for breakfast or brunch and pair beautifully with Dad'S Famous Cream Of Broccoli Soup for a comforting meal. They also make a great side for savory dishes or can be enjoyed with jam and butter. For a festive touch, serve them alongside Fourth Of July Parfaits for a delightful contrast.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To keep them fresh longer, you can refrigerate them for about a week. To reheat, simply warm them in the oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until heated through. This will help maintain their fluffy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze the biscuits for later?

Yes, you can freeze the baked biscuits. Allow them to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to three months. When ready to eat, simply thaw them at room temperature and reheat in the oven.

What can I substitute for margarine?

If you prefer not to use margarine, you can substitute it with an equal amount of unsalted butter or coconut oil. Both options will work well, but keep in mind that using butter will add a richer flavor to the biscuits.

Can I make these biscuits without sour cream?

Yes, you can use plain yogurt or cottage cheese as a substitute for sour cream. Both alternatives will provide a similar tangy flavor and moisture. If using yogurt, choose a thicker variety for the best results.
