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 and chives in this category, as well as my recipe for naked ravioli and my beloved Blue Dory cookie recipe too. These delectable biscuits are the biscuit version of my secret weapon recipe, and let’s just say that 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.
First, the ingredients you need for these little gems: Bisquick. Sour cream. Butter.
Yup, that’s it. That’s all you need for what I solemnly promise will be some of the best biscuits you are ever going to eat. 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. Not that anyone would ever do that. (Right, honey?)
I’ll stop now and let you get to baking some butter biscuits, because I don’t want you to go another minute without this deliciousness. Secret weapon recipes!

You’ve sold them. I’m tryin’ ’em this week!
Hurray! I know you will love them. :)
all you had to say was butter + biscuit (and maybe a side of BACON!)
Will give this a go.. no doubt a keeper!
Biscuits + Bacon = Heaven. But you knew that already!
I’m seeing a batch of these with a bowl of chili…they won’t stand a chance!
Wow, I am seeing that TOO! :)
What about an alternative for those of us who don’t have Bisquik in the country we are living in?
Hi there – here is a link to how to make your own version of Bisquick:http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Substitute-for-Bisquick
Thank you Kate.
My pleasure! :)
I can’t wait to make these!! I just bought a very big container of sourcream yesterday, so I have all these ingredients. I will let you know how they turn out. It may be dangerous, as I love biscuits!
Perfect timing!! Hope you love them. :)
What is “Bisquik”? I don’t believe we have that here in Australia.
Biscquick is a baking mix made of flour, leaving and a little butter. Here’s a link that shows you how to make your own: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Substitute-for-Bisquick
Thanks Kate :-)
You probably know already but these “biscuits” are more like our Australian “scones” and our “biscuits” are more like your “cookies”… but what’s in a name, eh? Important thing is that they taste good and these look YUMMEEE!!!
Thanks again.
I knew the biscuit thing but not the scone thing – you learn something new every day! :)
These are in my oven right now! Since you planted this seed in my head I have been wanting them! I will report back! Thank you!!
Hope you love them as much as I do!
Good biscuits are a weakness of mine :) these look perfect!
And SO easy, too! Hurray!
Love these! I make them in a mini-muffin tin and stir in some chopped chives and serve with my potato cheddar soup. So yummy!
Potato cheddar soup?? Sounds SO good!
Made these last night with chili and oh my! a keeper for sure!
and how easy.. and Sooo good!!
Perfect with chili! Or barbecue, or beef stew…I could go on and on!
I made this last night and the teenager ate almost all of them. I’m thinking of putting in a healthy amount of chives next time!
Teenager-approved – I love it! And chives sound fabulous!
Oh my word! These biscuits look amazing! I am always looking for a new recipe for biscuits! Thanks for the post!
My pleasure! These are the all-time favorite biscuits in my house. :)
