NEVER FAIL BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

• Press dough together and then roll out until 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 2 inch round biscuits and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until golden.

NO-FAIL BISCUITS

• I have used my kitchenaid mixer with dough hook and they have turned out ok.

TENDER HOMEMADE SOUR CREAM BISCUITS (NO-FAIL RECIPE)

Steps:

• In medium-sized bowl, whisk first 4 ingredients til well mixed.
• Add sour cream in spoonfuls on top, add oil and mix til all is just moistened with a spoon. Switch to using your hands turning the dough to get all the last of the dry stuff on the bottom of the bowl. Knead 8 times on floured surface.
• Roll thick to only about an 8" circle. Just a few passes with your (floured) rolling pin. Cut out 6 biscuits with a biscuit cutter or a floured glass. Get 2 more out of the last of the dough. (Bunch it back together, knead it just a bit, pat or roll it and cut.) Pitch any last little tidbit if any left. I place mine on my old round metal pizza pan covered with foil and sprayed with butter-flavored Pam. But a cookie sheet will work just fine.
• Place little pats of butter on top, or spread it a little if the butter is VERY soft and doesn't deflate the biscuits while doing so. Bake in hot, preheated 425 oven for 12-15 minutes (ovens vary) or til golden brown on top. Remove from oven and butter tops again with other half of butter. Serve warm with more butter and homemade jam or honey. Makes 8 tall sour cream biscuits.
