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.
