How to Make Sour Cream Biscuits

Many nights we get ready for a meal at our house and I want some sort of bread, but hate to break out the Crescent Rolls!  Well my kids love helping me make biscuits, so when I heard there was a recipe for Sour Cream Biscuits, I knew we had to try it.  They’re so easy, pretty tasty, and my son (also our self proclaimed bread connoisseur), gave them two thumbs up!  (But then he started begging me to also make some homemade bread this week, now I’ve got to add that to my to-do list!)

Here’s all you’ll need (I’m betting you have all this right in your pantry!) . . .

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 cup sour cream I used fat free

1 1/2 tablespoons water

Preheat oven to 450.  Mix together flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder.  Add sour cream and water, and mix to make a soft dough (you may need to add additional water – just be careful to onl add it 1/2 tablespoon at a time so you don’t add too much!)

With your hands covered in flour (these are really sticky!),  shape dough into biscuits (we use a round glass dipped in flour to cut ours).  Place on baking sheet and bake at 450 for 10-12 minutes, until lightly browned on top.
