How To Make Sour Cream Biscuits

1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 400°F and coat a muffin pan with some nonstick cooking spray or butter. In a large mixing bowl, crack the egg and beat it with a fork. Add the sour cream and ⅓ cup of melted butter to the bowl and whisk to mix everything together.

2. Combine the ingredients: Add the remaining dry ingredients, which would be the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar, to the bowl. Mix everything with a wooden spoon until just combined.

3. Form the dough: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until the ingredients fully come together, and shape the biscuit dough into a ball. Divide the dough into equal parts and gently press them into the prepared muffin pan.

4. Bake the biscuits: Put the biscuits in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown on top. Check on the biscuits at the 15-minute mark to see how they're cooking.

5. Serve: Immediately after baking, spread some unsalted butter on top of the biscuits while they are still warm. Serve with some honey or your favorite jams or jellies, and enjoy!

Tips To Make The Best Recipe

• Don't overcook these homemade biscuits! You're looking for a beautiful, slightly golden brown crust to make these the best biscuits. 
• Slice the biscuits and add salted butter, honey, jam, or jelly on the inside to make them even better.
• If you don't have a muffin pan, you can also use a biscuit cutter and put the biscuits on a greased baking sheet. A drinking glass turned upside down also works great for cutting biscuits!

How To Store Sour Cream Biscuits

At room temperature: Store the freshly baked biscuits in a sealed bag with the excess air squeezed out or in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

In the fridge: Transfer the sour cream biscuits to the fridge after baking, and they'll last for about a week.

In the freezer: To keep them for longer, store the biscuits in a freezer-safe bag or container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Reheating: These biscuits are delicious when eaten at room temperature, but if you want to warm them up after chilling, simply microwave for about 10 seconds. You can also put them in the toaster oven or warm in the oven at 400°F for about 5 minutes. For the frozen biscuits, thaw them in the fridge overnight before reheating.
