Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure that your butter is fully melted but not too hot when mixing with sour cream to avoid cooking it. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour and add 1 tablespoon of baking powder per cup. For added flavor, consider mixing in herbs or cheese, akin to those found in vegetarian recipes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour. Just remember to add 1 tablespoon of baking powder for every cup of flour you use to help the biscuits rise properly.
How can I make these biscuits healthier?
To make these biscuits healthier, consider using Greek yogurt in place of sour cream for added protein and lower fat. Additionally, you can reduce the amount of butter or substitute it with a healthier oil, like olive oil, for a lighter version.
Can these biscuits be frozen?
Absolutely! You can freeze the unbaked biscuit dough by scooping it into a greased muffin pan and then transferring it to the freezer. Once frozen, pop them out and store in a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
