For an even richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of melted butter. If you don't have Hungarian hot paprika, smoked paprika or a pinch of cayenne pepper will also work well. These biscuits are best served warm, straight from the oven.
These Sour Cream Drop Biscuits are unbelievably moist and tender, boasting a delightful tang from the sour cream and a subtle savory note from the scallions. A touch of paprika adds a visual and flavorful flourish. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a comforting side.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and baking soda. Drizzle in 6 tablespoons of the melted and cooled butter. Using your hands, gently mix to distribute the butter evenly throughout the dry ingredients. (5 minutes)
Create a well in the center of the bowl. Add the sour cream and sliced scallions to the well. Using a wooden spoon, mix until just combined, ensuring no dry spots remain. The dough will be shaggy. (3 minutes)
Drop 1/2-cupfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 1 1/2 inches of space between each biscuit. (5 minutes)
Brush the tops of the biscuits with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Sprinkle with Hungarian hot paprika. (2 minutes)
Bake in the preheated oven until the tops and bottoms are a beautiful golden brown, approximately 12 to 15 minutes.
For an even richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of melted butter. If you don't have Hungarian hot paprika, smoked paprika or a pinch of cayenne pepper will also work well. These biscuits are best served warm, straight from the oven.
