3-Ingredient Southern Sour Cream Drop Biscuits Recipe

These 3 ingredient biscuits are my favorite Southern girl shortcut--no rolling, no messy flour, no biscuit cutter. Just stir, scoop, and bake. In about 30 minutes, you’ll have tender, buttery biscuits with perfectly golden edges that taste like you worked a whole lot harder than you actually did.

Equipment

  • dry measuring cups
  • large bowl
  • 12-cup muffin pan
  • ice cream scoop
  • fork or pastry blender

Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 cup salted butter, softened (2 sticks)
  • cups sour cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Coat a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Combine the flour and butter in a large bowl. Using a fork, pastry cutter, or your fingers, cut the butter into small pieces and mix into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
  • Add the sour cream and mix just until a dough is formed.
  • Use an ice cream scooper to divide the dough evenly between the muffin cups in the prepared muffin tin.
  • Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the muffin tin and serve warm.
