Versatile and Flavorful

These garlic cheddar and sour cream biscuits are delightfully versatile. Pair them with a hearty soup or stew to soak up all the flavorful broth, or serve alongside a crisp salad for a lighter meal. They are also perfect as a stand-alone snack, maybe accompanied by a dab of butter or a small bowl of homemade chive dip. For a breakfast option, slice a biscuit in half and layer with a fried egg and a slice of bacon or ham for a satisfying start to the day.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

3. Cut in the Butter

Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
