Yum! I'm very excited about this recipe because it is so easy and very good. I've made it twice already. The first time was as it was written, but the second time I replaced the sour cream with plain yogurt and added 1 tablespoon of white sugar. I also found that a 10 minute cooking time was just enough. The yogurt didn't make a huge difference, but my fiance and I liked them more. Thanks for the recipe!

They turned out well but I made a few changes. I used half whole wheat flour and had to add some sour milk because it was too dry. Simple and great recipe.

Very good, very easy recipie. Moist and crumbly. The biscuits would also taste good with a little melted butter applied to the top before cooking with a brush. Also, I kept adding water to try to get the ingredients to stick and finally just used my hands to make a ball.

I had to add more water and even then they weren't as good as my usual biscuits. I only made them to use some leftover sour cream but won't make them again.

Not too bad at all! I'd never made biscuits before, so this was a great easy recipe to start with. Personally I'm not a real fan of biscuits, but my family loves them. So I would say they're pretty good, but they would say they're great! The only thing is, like others have said, is the amount of wet ingredients. I had to add a few more tablespoons of water, and I think if I make them again, I will increase the sour cream to 1 cup. Still good though.

These are a keeper! Super easy to whip up, and come out wonderfully light & fluffy, I will be making these again!

These are very quick and easy. I didn't have the stickiness problem that some others did. Probably won't use them for a "special" sunday breakfast, but they are wonderful to put in my husbands lunch box for his breakfast at work. When they are reheated they taste exactly the same as when they are fresh. They don't get soggy like other biscuits can.

These were pretty good, but I think I prefer the Mayonnaise Biscuits from this site. I added about five more tablespoons of water to get it to drop biscuit consistancy. This worked well with Dad's Hamburger Gravy.

Disappointing. Needed a lot more water. Not as light/airy as described. Been making biscuits for years, with better results from standard shortening/milk recipes. Flavour was ok. Reviews were mixed, & thought I'd try it. Not again.

Very good and easy! The biscuits were incredibly light and fluffy although I used whole wheat pastry flour. I think next time I'll use low fat sour cream to make them even healthier. They were just a little on the salty side though, so that's why I'm only giving this 4 stars. I think I'll cut down on the salt next time I make these. Thanks for an awesome recipe!

LOVVVVVVVVVED these biscuits!! I made them for breakfast this morning, and the first thing my husband said was to rave about how moist and chewy they were! We agreed by far these were some of the best we've ever had!! it was perfect because I ran out of sugar & milk- so the recipe was exactly what I needed! Also: after I put the biscuits on the cookie sheet to bake, I spread some melted "Smart Balance" butter on the tops of them with a pastry brush, and they turned out really goldeny brown- and had a rich outer flavor!! && just like everyone said, they ARE very sticky when you shape them, so use lots of flour on your hands!! BUt again, fabulous recipe!!!

I had to add a lot more water than what was called for to make a dough. They came out tasty, but small and not as fluffy as I would have liked. Still, they held up well to being used for sausage sandwiches.

I used Fat Free French Onion dip instead of plain sour cream. Takes care of the bland taste in a hurry.

As noted by other reviewers, I also needed to add additional water, other than that recipe is good as written. I added some green onions to mine and next time I think I'll add some cheese. Nice fast recipe!

I was out of butter but had some sour cream in the fridge. These biscuits were great with my big pot of chicken soup! Really moist, slightly tangy, with a little chew to them. They rose really well. They were super easy and fast. The recipe needs more water though. I think I just about doubled it though I did not measure. I just went for a good, slightly sticky dough, being careful not to over work it which makes them tough. I found my hands to be best. Only got eight normal sized biscuits, not 12. I think if you made small ones you might get 12, but then you would not need to cook them for so long. Perhaps between that and the water is why some had bad results with this recipe. I say give it another try. I will most definitely make these again!

These were so easy and really good. I only had light sour cream on hand, so added a little melted butter to "fatten" them up. Also added some dried herbs for flavor.

Very good for a healthy biscuit. I had a cup of fat free sour cream that had ranch seasoning mixed in that I needed to use up and it gave a lot of flavor to the biscuits. I also added some shredded cheddar cheese. They went well with the Potato Soup X recipe on this website. My husband loved them!
