8 biscuits

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ cup unsalted butter - melted, cooled, and divided

  • 1 ½ cups sour cream

  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced (Optional)

  • ½ teaspoon Hungarian hot paprika, or to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Drizzle in 6 tablespoons melted butter and mix lightly with your hands to distribute butter. Make a well in the center of the bowl; add sour cream and scallions. Mix with a wooden spoon until no dry spots remain and a shaggy dough forms.

  3. Drop 1/2-cupfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 1 1/2 inch apart. Brush tops with remaining 2 tablespoons butter; sprinkle with paprika.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until tops and bottoms are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

These biscuits can also be baked in a 12-inch cast iron skillet, arranged so the sides are just touching.

These reheat well! Just pop back into a 350-degree oven for 5 minutes.
