Sour Cream Buttermilk Biscuits

I don’t know where my obsession with biscuits stemmed from because I didn’t grow up eating them. Nonetheless, I was making them constantly a couple of years ago. These Sour Cream Buttermilk Biscuits from the blog, No Ordinary Homestead, are probably my favorite biscuits ever. After years of making just buttermilk biscuits, I learned that by adding sour cream, they become even more moist. You won’t be disappointed by this recipe.
