Ensure your butter and dairy are extremely cold for optimal biscuit texture. Avoid overmixing the dough at all costs. This develops gluten, leading to tough biscuits. For extra golden tops, brush the biscuits with a little melted butter before baking.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02
Step
5 mins
Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to mix. Drop cold cubes of butter into the dry mix and pulse just until mix comes together and forms a ball, about 4 to 5 times; do not overmix. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
Pour milk, cream, and sour cream into the dry mixture in the food processor and pulse until it just comes together and forms a ball, 4 to 5 times. Do not overmix! (Estimated time: 1 minute)
04
Step
3 mins
Use a butter knife or sturdy rubber spatula to pry the dough out of the food processor and turn it onto a well-floured surface; dough will be very sticky. Don't use your fingers! They're too hot and will start melting the butter.
05
Step
7 mins
Sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough and gently knead until it comes together into a ball, about 4 to 5 times. Be gentle and do not overwork the dough; you are developing flaky layers and not really mixing it at this point. Gently shape dough into a rectangle and pat to a 1 1/2-inch thickness. (Estimated time: 3 minutes)
06
Step
3 mins
Use a non-serrated knife to cut dough into 6 square biscuits. Place on the prepared baking sheet so squares are just touching.
07
Step
10 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Break biscuits apart just before serving.
