Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

Step 2

To a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda and whisk to combine.

Step 3

Spoon the sour cream into the bowl and pour in the buttermilk. Use a wooden spoon to mix all the ingredients together until all of the flour is moistened. The dough will be crumbly. Pat the dough into a ball with your hands and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.

Step 4

Gently pat the dough out into a rectangle. Fold the dough in half over itself, pat back out into a rectangle and repeat the process two more times. Roll the dough out into a thick disc about 8 inches round and cut out 8 biscuits. Rework the dough by patting the scraps back into a disc and cutting out more biscuits until you have eight.

Step 5

Place the biscuits on the lined baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 6

Remove the biscuits from the oven and brush the tops with plenty of melted butter. Enjoy!
