These easy three ingredient biscuits have the butter baked right in! Once you make this delicious recipe for butter biscuits you’ll be hooked, so you might want to make a double batch!
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.
Here is how you make butter biscuits!
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!

I just wanted to say again, absolutely amazing!!
I just texted all my biscuit loving friends.
I did want to add that I used light sour cream
( that’s all I had on hand)
I used a large muffin pan but the recommended temperature and time cooked work out great.

Kate says
Hope you love them as much as I do!
Catherine says
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.
Kate says
I knew the biscuit thing but not the scone thing – you learn something new every day! :)
Catherine says
What is “Bisquik”? I don’t believe we have that here in Australia.
Kate says
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
Winnie says
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!
Kate says
Perfect timing!! Hope you love them. :)
Rachel says
What about an alternative for those of us who don’t have Bisquik in the country we are living in?
Kate says
Hi there – here is a link to how to make your own version of Bisquick:http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Substitute-for-Bisquick
Rachel says
Thank you Kate.
Kate says
My pleasure! :)
Joanne says
I’m seeing a batch of these with a bowl of chili…they won’t stand a chance!
Kate says
Wow, I am seeing that TOO! :)
Karen Nelson says
all you had to say was butter + biscuit (and maybe a side of BACON!)
Will give this a go.. no doubt a keeper!
Kate says
Biscuits + Bacon = Heaven. But you knew that already!
Mindy says
You’ve sold them. I’m tryin’ ’em this week!
Kate says
Hurray! I know you will love them. :)
