Miniature Biscuits
Miniature biscuits are tender, flaky treats with a buttery flavor, perfect for breakfast or snacks. Their small size makes them ideal for parties or tea time.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the margarine.
- Mix the melted margarine with self-rising flour and sour cream until well combined.
- Spoon the mixture into miniature muffin tins.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding herbs or cheese to the biscuit mixture. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. Ensure the margarine is fully melted but not hot when mixing to maintain the right texture. You can also experiment with different types of yogurt instead of sour cream for a unique twist.
Serving Suggestions
These miniature biscuits are perfect as a snack or appetizer. Serve them warm with butter, or pair with soups and salads for a delightful meal. They also complement breakfast dishes like scrambled eggs or can be enjoyed alongside a slice of Prune Sour Cream Coffee Cake for a sweet finish.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in an oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through for the best texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use regular all-purpose flour by adding 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt for every cup of flour used. This will mimic the properties of self-rising flour and ensure your biscuits rise properly.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a manageable consistency. Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this can make the biscuits tough.
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Just bring it to room temperature before spooning into the muffin tins and baking for the best results.
