Biscuits
Adapted from Paula Deen's Sour Cream Biscuit recipe
​
2 cups White Lily self-rising flour
2 sticks butter, softened - YES, that is correct
1 cup sour cream
​
Blend softened butter into self rising flour with your fingers or a fork until the consistency is sandy. Get very even, making sure there are no big lumps. Stir in sour cream until uniformly blended.
​
Roll out, coating surface in regular flour as needed. Cut with a small (1 1/4" or smaller) biscuit cutter. Place on cookie sheet so that sides are BARELY touching. These are so soft that you need more of the sides exposed to heat than with other biscuits.
​
This dough has so much fat that you don't have to worry too much about developing gluten, especially if you use White Lily. You can re-roll and cut without degrading the quality.
​
Cook at 375 until browned - 12 minutes is a guideline but it will depend on the size of your biscuits.
