Instructions
- Begin with about 2 tablespoons less than 1 cup of sour cream, as its consistency varies.
- Mix the Bix-Mix and sugar in a bowl.
- Add the sour cream to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- If the dough is stiff, add remaining sour cream a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times.
- Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
- Cut into biscuits using a cutter or the rim of a glass.
- Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet and bake at 425°F (220°C) for about 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a firmer texture in your sour cream biscuits, ensure you measure the Bix-Mix accurately and use cold sour cream. If you prefer a hint of flavor, consider adding herbs like chives or garlic powder. This recipe pairs beautifully with ham or sausage, making it perfect for breakfast or brunch. If you don't have Bix-Mix, a similar baking mix can be used, but adjust the liquid accordingly.
Serving Suggestions
These sour cream biscuits are excellent served warm with butter, honey, or jam. They complement savory dishes beautifully, especially ham or sausage, and can be included in brunch spreads. For a complete meal, serve alongside scrambled eggs or a fresh fruit salad. Consider pairing them with Alice Perry'S Carrot Cake for a delightful dessert to end your meal.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftover biscuits, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. To reheat, pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through, to maintain their texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use low-fat sour cream instead of regular?
Yes, you can use low-fat sour cream, but keep in mind that it may slightly alter the texture and flavor of the biscuits. The biscuits may not rise as much due to the lower fat content. If you prefer a richer taste, consider a full-fat or Greek yogurt alternative.
What is the best way to knead the dough?
Knead the dough gently on a floured surface for just a few turns until it comes together. Over-kneading can make the biscuits tough. Aim for a light touch; you want to incorporate the ingredients without overworking the gluten.
Can I add cheese to the biscuit dough?
Absolutely! Adding shredded cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella, enhances the flavor and richness of the biscuits. Fold in about 1/2 to 1 cup of cheese after mixing the sour cream to create delicious cheesy sour cream biscuits.
