Sour Cream Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 c. all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 (16 oz.) container sour cream
1/2 c. shortening

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425\u00b0.
In a large bowl with fork, mix flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and baking soda.
With pastry blender or two knives used scissor-fashion, cut in sour cream and shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
With hands, knead dough 6 to 8 strokes to mix thoroughly.
If dough is dry, add a little water, a teaspoon at a time, while kneading.
On lightly floured surface, with floured rolling pin, roll dough 1/2-inch thick.
With floured 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut biscuits.
Place biscuits on ungreased baking sheet, 1 inch apart.
Press trimmings together (don't knead); roll and cut as directed until all dough is used.
Bake 10 to 15 minutes until golden.
Serve warm.
Yields 20 biscuits.
