Sour Cream and Scallion Drop Biscuits image

All that sour cream keeps these biscuits super moist and tender-they reheat well, even after sitting out for hours (pop back into 350°F oven for 5 minutes).

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted, cooled, divided
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups sour cream
Hungarian hot paprika (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and baking soda in a large bowl. Drizzle in 6 Tbsp. butter and mix lightly with your hands just to distribute butter. Make a well in center of bowl and add scallions and sour cream. Mix with a wooden spoon until no dry spots remain and mixture forms a shaggy dough.
  • Using 2 spoons, drop 1/2-cupfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing at least 1 1/2" apart, or into a 12" cast-iron skillet, arranging so sides of biscuits are just touching (you should have 8). Brush tops with remaining 2 Tbsp. butter; sprinkle with paprika. Bake biscuits until tops and bottoms are golden brown on top and bottom, 12-15 minutes.
