Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients except oleo until well combined.
- Melt oleo in a baking pan.
- Roll out the biscuit dough and turn each biscuit over in the melted oleo.
- Bake at 375° or 400° for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your sour cream is at room temperature before mixing. If you don't have club soda, you can substitute with sparkling water for a similar effect. When rolling out the dough, avoid overworking it to keep the biscuits flaky. For an added twist, consider adding shredded cheese or herbs to the dough for flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are perfect served warm with butter and honey, or alongside fried chicken for a classic Southern meal. They also pair beautifully with a side of gravy or can be used to make breakfast sandwiches. For a sweet treat, serve them with a dollop of jam or alongside blueberry muffins.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warm. For a crispy texture, you can also reheat them in a toaster oven.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the biscuits after baking?
Yes, you can freeze the biscuits after baking. Allow them to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They can be stored for up to 3 months. To reheat, just pop them in the oven from frozen at 350°F until warmed through.
What can I substitute for oleo?
You can substitute oleo with unsalted butter or margarine in equal amounts. If you're looking for a healthier option, coconut oil can also work, although it may impart a slight coconut flavor. Just melt it as you would the oleo before using it in the recipe.
How do I know when the biscuits are done baking?
The biscuits are done when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of baking, as ovens can vary in temperature. A golden color and a slight rise are key indicators of doneness.
