Why we love this recipe
This is one of what I call my secret weapon recipes. Secret weapon recipes are those recipes that you can completely, totally, 1000% rely on to work Every Single Time, and that are also a little bit different and a whole lot of delicious.
I count my scrambled eggs with ricotta in this category, as well as my recipe for Chicken Carbonara and my beloved Blue Dory cookie recipe too.
These delectable biscuits are the biscuit version of my secret weapon recipe.
The combination of the sour cream and the butter makes these babies taste like they are already buttered. And how fabulous is that?
Almost as good is the fact that all you need to do is mix up these three ingredients, scoop the batter into a muffin tin, bake them until they are golden, and then try and exercise enough self control not to eat them all in one sitting.
As in, the first time I made them, the Southern husband ate all of them.
In one day.
A full biscuit recipe, gone just like that. It was both alarming and highly satisfying all at the same time…and here’s how it’s done.

Ingredient notes and substitutions
- Bisquick: This baking mix is also great for making pancakes and waffles, and because of that you can usually find it in the breakfast aisle of your supermarket.
- Sour Cream: Either regular or low-fat will work…we don’t recommend non-fat for this recipe.
- Butter: We recommend salted butter for this recipe for the best taste, but you can make it with unsalted if you prefer.

Sitting here in rural Northern Ontario, the snow is piling up around me. Twins are down for a nap, and my mouth is watering! Chicken pot pie is in the works but wishing I had Bisquick on hand to complete tonight’s meal! Any recipe for substitution?
Hi Jocelyn – it sounds so cozy (especially the nap!) Here’s a great recipe for homemade Bisquick – hope this helps! https://www.mybakingaddiction.com/homemade-bisquick/

Quick question – can you use this dough to make pigs in a blanket? If so, how long would you think to bake it?
Hi Margaret! I don’t see why not, and I would bake them for the same amount of time as you would if you were making them as regular biscuits. If you try it, can you come back and let us know how they came out? Thank you! :)
