Flaky Southern Cream Biscuits
Ingredients
  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 6 tablespoons cold salted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
Instructions
1
Firstly, preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius). Next, prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2
Combine the dry ingredients of flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a food processor bowl. Pulse the mixture to blend the ingredients together.
3
Now, add cold butter cubes into the dry mix and pulse until they come together in a cohesive mass, about 4 to 5 times. Be cautious not to overmix the ingredients.
4
Pour milk, cream, and sour cream into the dry mixture in the food processor. Pulse until the ingredients just come together to form a cohesive ball, 4 to 5 times.
5
Remove the dough from the food processor and transfer it onto a well-floured surface. Use a butter knife or sturdy rubber spatula to pry the dough out of the processor, taking care not to apply too much pressure.
6
As you handle the dough, it will be quite sticky. Avoid using your fingers to prevent melting the butter and ensure a smooth handling process.
7
Sprinkle a small amount of flour onto the dough surface, then gently knead until it forms a cohesive ball, about 4 to 5 times. Be gentle and avoid overworking the dough as you aim to develop flaky layers.
8
Shape the dough into a rectangle and press it down to achieve a 1 1/2-inch thickness.
9
Cut the dough into six equal square biscuits using a non-serrated knife. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet so they just touch each other.
10
Place the biscuits in the preheated oven and bake until golden brown on top, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack before serving.

Finally, break apart the biscuits just before serving.
