Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the board
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp baking powder (use one without aluminum)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 6 tbsp cubed unsalted butter, very cold
  • ½ cup sour cream (full fat)
  • ¼ cup whole milk, plus 2 tbsp
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 450°.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Add the cubed butter and using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles a coarse meal. Alternatively this can be done in a food processor. Pulse the butter with the dry ingredients until it resembles a coarse meal.
  3. Add the sour cream and milk and mix until just combined and the mixture is slightly wet and sticky.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Lightly dust flour on top of the dough and lightly pat using your hands to form a rectangle. Fold the dough in half and pat down again. Dusting with more flour as needed. Repeat folding 3 additional times and finally pat to a about 1.5" thick rectangle. Using a 2½" cutter cut out 8 biscuits. You may only get 4-5 from the first pass, pat out the scraps until you get 8 biscuits.
  5. Place the biscuits in a circular shape touching each other in greased baking dish (preferably a cast iron pan).
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
If you have leftover biscuits and you want to refresh them. Slice them in half, slather them with butter and heat them in a skillet (butter side down) over medium heat until golden brown.
