Basic Sour Cream Biscuits
These versatile Basic Sour Cream Biscuits are delicious on their own and with added ingredients. Don’t forget to add my Old Fashioned Bacon Gravy. Adding sour cream to your biscuit batter helps keep your biscuits moist. Make an extra batch to keep in the freezer for out of town guests. Don’t want to fix gravy how about some easy to make Honey Butter?
I took this basic recipe added my own extras to make 6 different biscuits

How would you suggest making these to be frozen and taken out as needed? Would I fully bake them prior to freeizing?
Hi Jessie, I’m afraid the freezer would dry them out if frozen after baked. I would place the cut biscuits on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and put the cookie sheet in the freezer. Once the biscuits are frozen, drop them in a labeled zip top freezer bag. You can bake the biscuits either frozen or thawed. If baking while frozen it will take longer then thawed.
Thank-you for confirming my thoughts! I thought I’d make several batches to take my daughter as a surprise!
