Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine softened butter, sour cream, and sifted self-rising flour in a large electric mixer bowl.
- Beat until well blended.
- Spoon the batter into an ungreased miniature muffin pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using salted butter instead of unsalted. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt to every cup of all-purpose flour. For a twist, add herbs like rosemary or thyme to the batter for a savory touch. These biscuits can also be served with a dollop of jam or honey for a sweet variation.
Serving Suggestions
These sour cream mini biscuits are perfect for brunch or as a side with soups like Blender Tomato Bisque. Serve them warm with butter, or try pairing them with a fruity jam. They also make a delightful addition to a cheese platter. For a sweet treat, enjoy them with a scoop of Cinnamon Ice Cream for a satisfying dessert.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover mini biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through, to restore their fluffy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream?
Yes, Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute for sour cream in this recipe. It will provide a similar tangy flavor and moisture. The texture may be slightly thicker, but the end result will still be delicious. Just ensure you use plain Greek yogurt for the best results.
What should I do if my batter is too thick?
If your batter seems too thick, you can add a tablespoon or two of milk or water to achieve a smoother consistency. This will help the batter spoon into the muffin pan more easily. Just be cautious not to add too much liquid, as it may affect the final texture of the biscuits.
Can I freeze these mini biscuits?
Absolutely! You can freeze the cooled mini biscuits in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and then warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes before serving.
