Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold)
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Milk (optional, for adjusting consistency)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Cut the cold butter into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overwork; small chunks of butter are okay.

Step 4

Add the sour cream to the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk, one spoonful at a time, until the dough comes together.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. The dough should hold its shape but doesn’t need to be perfectly smooth.

Step 6

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.

Step 7

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter, jam, or any topping of your choice.
