The Best Sour Cream Biscuits with Cheddar Cheese
What do I need to make sour cream cheese biscuits?
- Self Rising Flour – I love the White Lily unbleached self-rising flour for making the best biscuits. You will get a fluffy biscuits because all of your leavening agents are already in the flour.
If you don’t keep self rising flour on hand in your pantry then you can certainly use your all purpose flour, but you will need to add a bit of salt and baking powder to the flour mixture dry ingredients.
- Sour Cream – the sour cream adds such a wonderful tanginess. Use full-fat sour cream in your biscuit recipe. The texture of the biscuits remind me of a mayonnaise biscuit with the rich flavor of buttermilk biscuits with plenty of cheesiness in every bite.
- Sharp Cheddar Cheese – freshly grated, of course, delivers the best cheesy flavor in these easy scratch made biscuits.
- Melted Butter – that’s right, no cold butter in this recipe. The melted butter will be divided and a little bit combined in to the biscuit dough and some of it used to brush the tops before baking. I keep a stick of butter at room temperature at all times and it melts super quick in the microwave.

How to make Sour Cream and Cheddar Biscuits?
First, grab a large bowl and gather your ingredients together to make a batch of these tasty homemade biscuits.
Measure out the amount of flour needed and add it to your mixing bowl. Grab your favorite cheese grater and shred the cheese. I love my old fashioned box grater! It takes just one minute to shred a block of cheese.

Next, add the freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese and give it a quick stir to mix with the flour.

The next step is to combine the cheese and flour mixture with the sour cream. Y’all are gonna love the tangy flavor that the sour cream delivers in these sour cream cheese biscuits.
Use a spatula to mix the sour cream into the flour cheese mixture just enough to form the dough. Once your dough is combined, pour in some of the melted butter and give another quick stir and the dough is ready to transfer over into your muffin tin.
Easy Muffin Pan Sour Cream Cheese Biscuits
Lightly spray your favorite muffin tin with some cooking spray then use a cookie scoop, or a large spoon, to transfer the biscuit dough to each section of your baking pan.
The cookie scoop helps ensure even portions. I would like to mention that you can also roll out this dough and cut the biscuits with a cutter and bake on a baking sheet like traditional biscuits if you prefer.
You could also keep it easy and bake them like drop biscuits. I just like the simplicity of the muffin pan for this particular quick bread recipe. They sort of turn out like sour cream rolls with the texture of a biscuit.
More Butter for Rich Buttery Flavor
The final step before baking is to use a pastry brush and brush the tops of each biscuit with melted butter.
The sour cream cheddar biscuits are now ready to pop into your pre-heated oven to bake until golden brown and delicious.
This easy biscuit recipe might just be one of the easiest around.
