Tiny sour cream biscuits are soft, flavorful treats with a hint of tang from sour cream and optional cheesy richness, perfect for breakfast or snacking with family and friends.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray tiny muffin tins with Pam.
- Melt margarine and mix it with self-rising flour, sour cream, and grated Cheddar cheese if using.
- Spoon the mixture into the muffin tins, filling about halfway.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the biscuits are brown.
- Serve warm for the best flavor.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter biscuit, try substituting half the margarine with Greek yogurt. If you want to enhance the flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or chopped herbs. Ensure the sour cream is at room temperature for better mixing. Using freshly grated Cheddar cheese can elevate the taste significantly. These biscuits are versatile and can also be made with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these tiny sour cream biscuits warm, ideally alongside soups or salads for a delightful contrast. They match particularly well with a hearty vegetable soup or even an egg-based dish for brunch. For a fun twist, try pairing them with Potatoes With Cheese And Chives for a cheesy side experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep them longer, freeze them in a single layer before transferring to a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just remember to bring it back to room temperature before baking. Alternatively, you can bake them ahead and reheat them when ready to serve.
What can I use instead of margarine?
You can substitute unsalted butter or coconut oil for margarine, although the taste may vary slightly. If you want a dairy-free option, use a plant-based margarine or oil. Just ensure the substitute is solid for the best texture.
Can I add other ingredients to the dough?
Absolutely! You can mix in cooked bacon bits, diced jalapeños, or even herbs like rosemary or thyme to customize the flavor. Adding a bit of diced sun-dried tomatoes can also give a unique taste to your biscuits.
