Prepare the Dough: Begin by combining all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork or a pastry blender to mix the self-rising flour, butter, margarine, and sour cream until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The dough should be somewhat shaggy but well combined.
-
Roll and Cut: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out rounds of dough and place them onto a baking sheet. For the best results, aim to keep the biscuits uniform in size.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). Bake the biscuits for 10-15 minutes, or until they turn a light golden brown. Keep an eye on them, as oven temperatures can vary. For a special touch, use a cast iron biscuit skillet to bake them for an added rustic charm.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. These are perfect for a quick breakfast, an afternoon snack, or as a delightful side to any meal. They can be enjoyed with a variety of toppings or simply on their own.
Note: These biscuits are incredibly versatile and can be customized to your taste. Feel free to experiment by adding cheese, herbs, or spices to the dough before baking. They also freeze well, so you can prepare them in advance and reheat as needed.
This easy biscuit recipe is a wonderful addition to any recipe collection and a surefire way to impress your family and friends with minimal effort. Enjoy these tasty treats straight from the oven, and watch as they become a staple in your home!
