The method
Step by step
- 1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Using a non-stick spray or buttering and flouring the tin ensures the biscuits release easily.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, add the self-rising flour, melted butter, and sour cream.
About 1 min
- 3
Stir the ingredients with a spatula just until a shaggy dough forms.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- 4
Spoon the dough evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: An ice cream scoop can help portion the dough uniformly.
- 5
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a biscuit comes out clean.
About 20 min
- 6
Let the biscuits cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool further.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Serving them warm is best, but letting them set briefly prevents them from breaking.
