Mini Sour Cream Biscuits

Posted on by

mini biscuitsIf there is one meal that I love its soup with bread. Soon the heat of summer will be on us, which means no more soup for me. One of the reasons I love fall so much is I can get back to my regular cooking style, in the summer when I don’t want the oven on, I will freely admit I am much less creative in the kitchen. Cold Sandwiches is a perfect summer meal for me, no cooking and it’s nice and cold to eat. The temperatures haven’t gotten to hot yet, so I have been able to still have my oven on, yay for me! So last night we had corn chowder, and I had some sour cream that was needing to be used up so I served these yummy biscuits on the side. They were great dipped in a wee bit of soup, plus they were super easy.

Recipe from Allrecipes

  • 1/4 cup melted butter

1. Mix all ingredients together. Spoon into greased mini muffin pan. (Makes 12 minis)

2. Bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees.

3. Eat and enjoy!
