Ingredients
- 2 cups flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 stick butter, very cold
- 3/4 cup sour cream
Directions
-
In a large bowl, whisk 2 cups flour, the baking powder, baking soda and salt. Turn the stick of butter in the dry ingredients until coated. Using the large holes on a box grater, grate the butter into the bowl. Using your fingertips, evenly mix in the butter. Form a well in the dry ingredients.
-
In a small bowl, whisk the sour cream and 1/3 cup very cold water. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir just until blended. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to 4 hours.
-
Position a rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450. Grease a large baking sheet. Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and pat into a circle about 1 inch thick, dusting with more flour if the dough is sticky. Using a 2-inch cutter, cut out biscuits, pressing straight down into the dough. Transfer to the sheet. Gather the dough and repeat patting and cutting until the dough is used up.
-
Bake until the biscuits are golden and crispy on top, 12-15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
