Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix sour cream, softened margarine, and Bisquick until well combined.
- Spoon the batter into small ungreased muffin tins.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. If you want to infuse more flavor, add herbs or spices like garlic powder or chives to the batter. Ensure the margarine is well softened for easy mixing. If you don’t have Bisquick, you can make a homemade baking mix by combining flour, baking powder, and salt.
