Sour Cream and Chive Biscuits

Recipe from cinnamonspiceandeverythingnice.com

My husband along with his brothers, dad and cousin spent all day Saturday building our garage. As if to entice them into a full day of work, Andrew promised them a delicious lunch, which of course was to be my contribution to the day. As it was a chilly, drizzly day, Andrew requested soup and biscuits. I decided to try a new biscuit recipe and because this one was made with sour cream, I knew it would be yummy. The soup I made to go along with these tasty biscuits was a spicy sausage, potato and kale soup which you can look forward to on my next post. 

What you'll need

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup cold butter, cubed

1/2 cup whole milk or heavy cream

1/2 cup full-fat sour cream

2 rounded tbsp snipped chives or green onions

How to

1.  Preheat oven to 400°F.

2.  In a large mixing bowl whisk together the four, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or two knives scissor fashion until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  

3.  In a small bowl, stir together milk and sour cream until mixture is almost smooth then stir in the chives.

4.  Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and add the milk mixture. Using a wooden spoon stir just until the dough sticks together. 

5.  Dump the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, flour your hands and knead about 10 times or until dough holds together. Pat out dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. 

6.  Bake for 12-15 minutes, until biscuits are just golden on the bottom and around the edges. Serve warm with butter. Makes 10-12 biscuits.
